Bio
Pauline Frechette is a composer/performer with a foundation of playing in youth symphonies on violin, winning awards in piano competitions, touring Europe singing and dancing as a teen and studying acting in England. Her Great-grandfather, Josef Vezina, founded the Quebec Symphony. Her compositions are best defined as “Neo-classical” DEF. “The use of modern techniques within the classical form composing music that reflects one’s own compositional voice.” Her compositions have been performed by the Baltimore Symphony, Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, New West Symphony, Cincinnati Symphony, National Symphony at the Kennedy Center and at Walt Disney Concert Hall.
Pauline has composed songs for TV and Film and her musicals have been produced by The Goodspeed Opera House, the LaMirada Theatre for the Performing Arts and the Baruch Theatre in NYC.
As a singer/performer, she considers herself a 21st Century “troubadour” DEF. “a contemporary poet-musician.” Her credits include singing on major motion pictures (Aladdin, Rent, Mermaids …) performing/recording with many legendary artists including MUSE for the 2012 Olympics; Paul McCartney, Willie Nelson, Leonard Cohen, Cher, and duets with Neil Diamond.
In her solo concerts Pauline moves effortlessly from her neo-classical piano pieces to romantic jazz and humorous theatrical songs. She loves taking her audience on an emotional journey with humor, passionate haunting melodies and stunning vocals, often playing a grand piano live to videos of ballet, jazz, art and other forms of storytelling. Most recently, Pauline brought her cheering audience to their feet for nine standing ovations at beautiful Thayer Hall in downtown L.A.
Pauline's solo piano album, "An Intimate Story” debuted in September 2019 at #3 on Billboard Classical and Classical Crossover charts. In 2018 her critically acclaimed releases included the album, "Colors of My Heart,” (debuted in the Billboard Top Ten Classical and Jazz charts) and her holiday EP “Winter Romance.”
Her music is being played in over 175 countries to millions of listeners.

Reviews
“… each time I listened to “Jewel Box Fantasy,” … this single worked its compositional magic on me. Extremely well thought-out, expertly composed, and wonderfully played – this is a definite highlight in Pauline’s already-impressive catalog of songs & further confirmation that when it comes to capturing the essence of classical music, she’s aces.”
~ JER, sleepingbagstudios
"Pauline Frechette is back with an amazing new piece of music … “Jewel Box Fantasy” has a mystique that draws you in with its enchanting quality. …
With compositions like this, Frechette sets herself apart and shows that she is cut from the same cloth as the great musicians and artists of our time.”
~ Julie Roberts, Medium
"Beginning with the incredibly beautiful A Quiet Walk In The Snow, Pauline Frechette’s latest EP Winter Romance is every bit as organically ambient and peaceful as you’d hope. Featuring a new collection of piano-led recordings, the project fills the room with a classical aura and a sense of emotion and space that feels calming and thoughtful all at once."
~ Rebecca Cullen, Stereo Stickman
"Pauline proves she’s got an incredible understanding of that relationship between space & sound on “Diamonds… she’s one of those artists that are more than talented… that this is more than just a pure passion… that making music is truly what she was born to do with her life.”
~ JER, Sleepingbag Studios
“…The excellent balance in this EP from beginning to end really makes this whole experience highly repeatable and relentlessly enjoyable; when you realize how short it is every couple of spins, it’ll almost have you shaking your head in disbelief that Pauline was able to do so much and take you so many places within so little time.”
~ JER, Sleepingbag Studios
“this piece has a certain flair… in a bright and quite refreshing way.”
~ Rebecca Cullen, Stereo Stickman
“surges along in such a controlled but wild way… almost as if you could completely imagine this tune becoming the soundtrack for an old Chaplin flick of some kind – it’s endearing.”
~ JER, Sleepingbag Studios
“a personal favorite from this EP … lightly uplifting listening experience”
“...seriously STUNNING spots in “Snowflakes” that melt gorgeously & sweetly into this song.”
~ JER, Sleepingbag Studios
“…absolutely immaculate to listen to and its mysterious melody pulls you right in close to do so."
~ JER, Sleepingbag Studios
"This is an instrumental piece that I have fallen in love with, perhaps because the music takes me to one of those idealized Christmas nights.”
~ Ron Powers “Musical Musings”
“Starry Night” is spectacular, straight-up. ... It’s gorgeous, it’s beautiful, it’s played to perfection”
~ JER, Sleepingbag Studios
… a beautifully graceful & sincere melody that connects right to the heart.”
~ JER, Sleepingbag Studios
“Diamonds … works well as a mellow calm with a gentle dash of depth and consideration.”
~ Rebecca Cullen, Stereo Stickman
“Pauline Frechette has managed to create one of those rare, serene songs that captures the melancholic beauty of a rapidly fading moment of bliss, and in doing so wins over the hearts of all her listeners.”
~ Ionas Finser, Please Pass The Indie
“She’s made magic once again on “Love In The Afternoon” and captured captivating and beautiful emotions on this brand-new single…she sounds timeless.”
“The entire song soars with beauty, drama and unmistakable real-emotion…gorgeous and stunning to listen to at each and every moment.”
~ JER, Sleepingbag Studios
“…a touching song that features simple, yet dynamic musicality and melodies that reach to the listener’s soul.”
“a beautiful, melancholy experience that highlights Frechette’s passionate performance. …Frechette’s performance is elegant in the purest sense of the word.”
~ Brett David Sewart for “The Independent Spotlight”
“... this song audibly sounds like what Christmas morning feels like…everything about this entire tune is brilliantly vibrant, alive, and highly inviting.”
~ JER, Sleepingbag Studios
"Always Lovers has an all at once distant and intimate sound about it, somehow seeming like an up close and personal confession as well as being merely a whisper or an idea hanging on a passing breeze. The artist’s leading vocal performance is much gentler here than on previous recordings, though it has always had a captivating softness to it."
~ JER, Sleepingbag Studio
“…moves at a sleek & graceful pace, adding in a haunting mystique into the atmosphere alongside a powerful tale of love between two."
~ JER, Sleepingbag Studios
