Frank Music Company New York Closing Cover

New York's Last Remaining Classical Music Sheet Music Store to Close

Frank Music Company, New York's last remaining specialist classical music sheet music store has announced they are set to close on March 6th – after succumbing to years of declining sales.

“Frank Music has been struggling for years, as music became readily available online,” shop owner Heidi Rogers has told the Wall Street Journal, “... I went from feeling like I was at the center of the world to feeling invisible.”

The store, located on West 54th Street between Broadway and Eighth Avenue, opened in 1937 and has over the years served musicians including Emanuel Ax, Jeremy Denk, Itzhak Perlman, Joshua Bell, Gil Shaham, Lara St JohnPamela Frank and David Finckel.

Joseph Patelson Music House, another longtime New York sheet-music establishment closed in 2009 and Dowling Music shut its doors in 2013.

Frank Music’s remaining stock has been purchased by an anonymous donor as a gift for the Colburn School, in Los Angeles.
