Frank Carlberg is a composer, arranger, pianist, and educator whose extensive body of work ranges from small ensembles and duos to big bands and symphony orchestras. His myriad projects, often informed by an interest in poetry, modern dance, visual art, and other disciplines, reveal a stylistic fluency and boundless imagination that enable him “to create a space where bop, cool, and free impulses intersect” (The WholeNote, Toronto).

A native of Finland based in New York, Carlberg has performed and recorded with musical giants Steve Lacy, Bob Brookmeyer, Roswell Rudd, and Kenny Wheeler, and studied with the likes of Jimmy Giuffre, Paul Bley, Geri Allen, and Jacques-Louis Monod.

As a leader, he has released over 25 albums.
