He has appeared over twenty times at London's BBC Promenade Concerts and has been a frequent participant at the Edinburgh, Cheltenham, Aldeburgh, Verbier, Kuhmo, Naantali and Casals Festivals. In the USA, Peter Frankl has been a regular guest-artist at summer festivals in Aspen, Chautauqua, Hollywood Bowl, Marlboro, Norfolk, Ravinia, Santa Fe and Yellow Barn.
