Pianist Mark Markham is equally at home as a soloist, a collaborator with great singers, a chamber musician, a jazz pianist, and a vocal coach, and his interpretations have been praised by the public and press alike. His international career encompasses performances in North and South America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, while the artistry of his playing has been described as “brilliant,” “exquisitely detailed,” and “in full service to the music.”
Born in Pensacola, Florida, Markham made his debut in 1980 as a soloist with the New Orleans Symphony Orchestra, playing Rachmaninoff’s “Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini.” He studied with Ann Schein at the Peabody Conservatory, where he received the Bachelor, Master, and Doctorate of Musical Arts degrees. Before graduating, he was invited to join the faculty, where he taught for ten years.
In 1995, he began a twenty-year partnership with the soprano Jessye Norman. They gave over 250 performances in thirty countries in venues such as Carnegie Hall, the Musikverein in Vienna, Bunka Kaikan in Tokyo, the Royal Festival Hall in London, Salle Pleyel in Paris, Mann Auditorium in Tel Aviv, the Baalbek Festival in Lebanon, the ancient theatre of Epidaurus in Greece and the Nobel Peace Prize presentation for President Jimmy Carter in Oslo.
Markham was awarded the Distinguished Alumnus Award from Johns Hopkins University, and the Steinway artist is considered one of the most prominent performers and teachers in his profession. In recent years, recitals have been given to a new generation of stars, including Karen Slack (soprano), Limmie Pulliam (tenor), and J’Nai Bridges (mezzo).
For over a decade, Mr. Markham was based in the south of France. Shortly after arriving in 1999, he was enthroned into the Brotherhood of Chateauneuf-du-pape in recognition of his contributions to music. Mr. Marham is a long-time Advisory Board member, masterclass clinician, adjudicator, and performing guest artist with The Art Song Preservation Society of New York.
Throughout opera, concert, and contemporary work, baritone Michael Weyandt has collaborated with many of the premiere conductors, composers, and ensembles of our time. He was the first winner of the Mary Trueman Art Song Vocal Competition presented by The Art Song Preservation Society of New York in 2012.
Michael has performed with the New York City Opera, International Contemporary Ensemble, Hawaii Opera Theater, Opera Tampa, and the Talea Ensemble and has also collaborated on original evening-length works with soprano Alice Teyssier and composer Bradley Scott Rosen. He’s performed at some of the great venues of NYC, from Carnegie Hall to the Kitchen, Lincoln Center to Roulette, and many, many times in the lobby of the Gershwin Hotel. Because the truth is stranger than fiction, he also once co-wrote and performed an Adult Contemporary song that appeared in two episodes of Temptation Island.
Michael is an alumnus of Oberlin College, Indiana University, and the Tanglewood Music Center.
