    Fiona has composed music for flute and harp to accompany a video of drone views of a mandala, 'Wheel Of Life', which she created in September 2024. Thanks to Stuart Marshall of aabm.co.uk for the drone footage. The piece provides the ideal balance between a meditative mood and musical interest to engage the viewer.

    Piano: Maggie S Lorelli - Narrator and Violin: Fiona T Frank


    The concert was blessed with a stunningly beautiful venue- St Gabriel's, Pimlico- and an attentive and warm audience who bravely ventured out from their warm homes on such an uninviting winter's evening! "It was such a pleasure and an honour to play with the wonderful Italian pianist, Maggie S. Lorelli at our special concert which celebrated and illustrated the musical lives of women composers from past to present with readings and music and with myself introducing the music and playing violin in my own pieces. There are some very large gaps to be filled in our herstory".

    Parts of the concert were subsequently broadcast by Andy Bungay on the 'Chiminea' programme for Riverside Radio, on Saturday 22nd February 2025 (Fanny Mendelssohn, Clara Schumann and Nadia Boulanger) and Sunday 23rd February 2025 (further 'delving into unjustly obscure female composers plus a piece by Fiona herself').
