FRANK FEZISHIN – Trumpet/Flugelhorn
Frank Fezishin, trumpeter-arranger, was born in Budapest, Hungary. His first trumpet lessons were from his father, János Feczisin, solo trumpet of the Hungarian State Opera in Szeged. His first professional performance at the age of 14 was alongside his father as the offstage trumpet in Puccini’s “La Bohème.”
Frank Fezishin pursued his studies at the Béla Bartók Conservatory in Budapest until the Hungarian uprising in 1956. Following his escape from Hungary to the United States, he continued his studies with Edward Treutel at the Juilliard School of Music in New York on a full scholarship. He also studied with Carmine Caruso, and was the recipient of help and advice from trumpeters Maurice André, Martin Berinbaum, Jerry Callet and Kálmán Kovács, Sr.
A teacher of brass instruments and music appreciation, Frank Fezishin taught at the Horace Mann and St. Luke''s schools in New York City. For more than ten years, he was the artistic director and featured soloist at the Fordham University College at Lincoln Center’s alumni holiday concerts. Known in North America and Europe as a Baroque and Classical trumpet recitalist, Frank Fezishin regularly performs with organist Dr. Walter Hilse in the United States and pianist-organist-composer Jozsef Ács in Europe. In 1986, he was the featured soloist on a recording with Maestro Ács and the Eschweiler Choir on the BON label

International Trumpet Guild Journal
January 2004 - International Trumpet Guild Journal
“ trumpeter Frank Fezishin shows off his beautiful tone and considerable arranging skills….”
International Trumpet Guild Journal
January 2005 “…Mr. Fezishin is a fine musician… His tone quality is pure and smooth, and his articulation is crisp and facile… he does a beautiful job of carrying off the classical style with panache. Frank Fezishin has offered a novel introduction to the use of flugelhorn in a classical setting.”
Classical 102.5 WCRB Boston
Mr. Fezishin’s abilities with a piccolo trumpet should not be under estimated…. a perfect blend of unabashed attack and lyrical sweetness. If you are an admirer of the Baroque trumpet… you cannot go wrong with seeking a copy of … (Trumpet Music from the Baroque”).
February 2004 Schallstykket – Norway
“Trumpet Music from the Baroque – Fezishin plays with fine sound and technical brilliance. Especially in the deeper register he has a remarkable warm and rich sound for piccolo trumpet.”
“The Classical Flugelhorn – this recording represents some innovative thinking and usage of this beautiful instrument. Fezishin masters the instrument very well, both technically and especially on the slower parts. His “phrasing in the faster movements is … with a sound and intonation not unlike French horn, he impresses especially in the technically difficult 3rd movement of Sperger.
February 12 & 26, 2004 – Town & Village, New York, NY
“Frank Fezishin: Stuyvesant Town musician, composer and independent record label owner.”
“…his CDs display the range of his talent as a trumpeter and arranger. The works attest to Fezishin’s musicianship both in his brilliant trumpet work as well as his skillful variations. The flugelhorn “arrangements sound very natural to the instrument, which has a warm mellow sound.”
April 29, 2004 – Eagle Times, Keene, NH
Frank Fezishin is “…. sound is excellent… enjoys his music and this enthusiasm comes across. The Classical Flugelhorn surprises… so even if you already have recordings of these (horn) works, you will certainly want to hear what they sound like transcribed for flugehorn.”
