    • In the magazine LeggereDonna, Carla Collina wrote: "I loved the first, Fiona Frank, who we were told to be not only a composer in her life but also a painter and poet, because she really knows how to describe magical atmospheres with notes: a musical interpretation of the divine feminine that culminates with a powerful melodious phrasing. At this time of the evening the pathos was really high, one could perceive in handling the musical instruments a profound synergy between the three artists, felt as a whole that enchanted and thrilled." (Ho amato di la prima donna Fiona Frank che ci stato detto essere non solo compositrice nella sua vita ma anche pittrice e poeta perche davvero sa descrivcre con le note atmosfere magiche: una interpretazione in musica del divino femminile che culmina con un fraseggio melodioso potente. A questo momento della serata il pathos stato veramente alto, si percepiva nel maneggiare gli strumenti musicali una sinergia profonda tra le tre artiste, sentita come un tutt'uno che incantava e emozionava.)

    • The piano piece "Signs of Change" received its world premiere, online, on Monday, 30th November 2020 in the '7 notes in 7 days at 7pm!' project, with thanks to Maria Marchant. The complete event, including Maria's commentary, is here

  • Maria Marchant
  • Fiona wrote of this: ‘Signs of Change’ is a highly charged and dramatic piece of writing. There is also some sadness in some of the harmonies. It opens with a declamatory introduction using a 4-note motif, which becomes extended melodically and harmonically throughout the work. There are glimmers of light, with a change of tempo to a dancing 6/8 and a momentary major, followed by some anchoring chords. We are plunged into maniacal descending semi-quavers and syncopations. The key hardly settles. The whole work is driven forward & downwards by shifting modulations & a wide range of contrasting dynamics and textures. I want to thank Maria Marchant so much for her extraordinary performance & interpretation of my piece 'Signs of Change', which I have dedicated to her. I feel that Maria got right inside the notes and played them from the inside out! A remarkable experience. So deep and dark and expressive & filled with drama & power. I was on the edge of my seat! Thankyou so much for the incredible performance.
