Frost joined Lee’s School of Music faculty in 2007. In addition to directing Opera Theatre, he currently teaches applied voice. Prior to his arrival at Lee, Frost lived in Germany for 20 years where he gained professional experience at various opera houses such as Stadttheatre Hildesheim in Germany, Tiroler Landestheater in Austria, and regional theatres in the United States. 

Shikoh has performed on the NPR radio show “From the Top,” was chosen as a finalist for Acoustic Guitarist of the Year by MusicRadar and Guitarist Magazine, and has won multiple awards for his compositions, including first place in the Roland Dyens International Arranging Competition and second place in the Portugal International Guitar Composition Competition. He has served as a session player for a wide range of musical projects and has also taught as an adjunct faculty at Lee University, Southern Adventist University, and Covenant College.
