Pauline Frechette is a contemporary composer. Her melodies and harmonies take you to unexpected places, emotionally driven yet only 3 or 4 minutes long. Her compositions are gems that spark the 21st century need for private inspiration, sensual beauty or glowing romanticism. A Frechette miniature fills the need for warm flow, deeper meaning or emotional lift to a higher plane. Pauline composes mostly from the piano. Her neo-classical music has been compared to Schuman, Ravel and Eric Satie. Critics say of Pauline’s music:
“…absolutely captivating beyond words.” ~ Jeremy Gladstone, Sleeping Bag Studios
“…hip and vulnerable, cool and polished all at once.” ~ Jacob Aiden, Jamsphere Radio
“… I have never in my life as a professional music critic heard anyone touch my heart the way that she does when I hear her songs.” ~ Jack Saint, Music Reviews
Pauline’s great-grandfather, Josef Vezina, founded the Quebec Symphony and her father was the organist for the Chicago Black Hawks. From an early age, Pauline played violin in youth orchestras, won piano competitions and was a scholarship student at the American Conservatory of Music. Her musicals have been produced by the Goodspeed Opera House and the La Mirada Performing Arts Center. Her compositions have been performed by the Baltimore Symphony, Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, New West Symphony, Cincinnati Symphony, National Symphony at the Kennedy Center and at Walt Disney Concert Hall.
Pauline’s last four albums debuted in the Top Ten on Billboard’s Classical, Classical Cross-over and Jazz charts. Her music is currently played internationally and has over 30 million streams. Her new album, At the Edge of Everything, features legendary bassist, Stanley Clarke.
