He performs regularly and has collaborated with conductors such as Isaiah Jackson, Gabriel Chmura, Bernard Gueller, 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." In 2003, he was awarded a prestigious Fulbright Researcher Award and spent six months in residence at the University of Cincinnati. He has received several honors for his work as a concert pianist and for his contribution to music in South Africa. The University of Cincinnati granted him its Distinguished Alumnus Award in 2003.
