Frank Wilhoit (born Bethesda, MD, 17 July 1958) is an American composer.[1] Initially self-taught, he then studied composition at Catholic University of America (B.Mus., 1980), the University of Nebraska–Lincoln (M.Mus., 1983) and Ohio State University (Ph.D., incomplete, 1987).
Wilhoit and John Webber co-founded the Shoestring Orchestra (1979, subsequently the New Music Orchestra) to perform unfamiliar orchestral music of the 19th and 20th Centuries.
