Hailed as one of South Africa’s leading pianists, Franklin Larey, is acclaimed for his performances of works by especially Brahms, Mozart, Scriabin and Ravel. His piano teachers include Bruce Gardiner, Laura Searle, Frank Weinstock and Richard Fields.

Larey teaches at UCT, where he was appointed as Director of the South African College of Music from 2002-07. He appears regularly as a recitalist, soloist, accompanist and has worked with conductors such as Isaiah Jackson, Gabriel Chmura, Bernard Gueller, Victor Yampolsky and Lesley Dunner. Of his appearance with the San Jose Symphony, the San Jose Mercury News wrote, "When Franklin Larey turned to soft poetry, time stood still, and the audience held its breath for an eternity. His slow movement was sheer ecstasy - clear, measured, lyrical."

Franklin won several awards including first prize at the 1991 Young Chang International Piano Competition and third prize at the 1996 New Orleans International Piano Competition. In 2003 he was awarded a prestigious Fulbright Researcher Award and spent six months in residence at his alma mater, the University of Cincinnati. During this time he also performed at the Kennedy Center’s Millennium Stage (Washington DC). He has received several honours for his work as a concert pianist and for his contribution to music in South Africa. In 2003 the University of Cincinnati’s College-Conservatory of Music honoured him with a Distinguished Alumnus Award. In South Africa, he has served on the National Arts Council, a documentary of his career was aired on satellite television and he featured in South Africa’s Human Sciences Research Council’s published series, Living Treasures.
