Franklin Cohen first gained international recognition and acclaim when, at the age of 22, he became the first clarinetist awarded first prize at the International Munich competition. Mr. Cohen has appeared as soloist with The Cleveland Orchestra in nearly 200 performances at Severance Hall, Blossom Music Center, and on tour in the United States, the Far East, and Europe, appearing with Lorin Maazel, Christoph von Dohnanyi, Franz Welser-Möst, Christoph Eschenbach, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Leonard Slatkin, and others. A native New Yorker, Franklin Cohen studied at the Juilliard School. He began his professional career when Leopold Stokowski chose him as principal clarinet for the American Symphony Orchestra. Mr. Cohen subsequently held that position with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and the Casals Festival Orchestra. As a recitalist and chamber music performer, he has participated in the Aspen, Casals, Marlboro, and Santa Fe music festivals. He has been a featured artist with many well-known string quartets, including the Cavani, Emerson, Guarneri, Miami, Miro, Orion, Takács, Tokyo, and Ysaÿe. In addition, Mr. Cohen has collaborated as a chamber musician with leading artists including Emanuel Ax, Pinchas Zukerman, Mitsuko Uchida, Richard Goode, Vladimir Ashkenazy, and Jessye Norman.ClevelandOrchestra.com
