Frank Catalano visits Columbia College Chicago as guest lecturer

This past week, Kent Anderson welcomed saxophonist and entrepreneur Frank Catalano as our guest lecturer in our Decision Making: Music Business class at Columbia College Chicago.

Frank shared real-world insights from his journey as a professional touring and recording artist — covering everything from booking shows and maintaining professionalism to building meaningful industry relationships. Perhaps his most resonant advice: “Be great — and be likeable.”

Huge thanks to Frank for inspiring the next generation of music professionals with honesty, humor, and hard-won wisdom.
