Listen to this lovely and deep conversation with internationally acclaimed solo piano artist Mark Pinkus. 

It was such an honor to speak with Mark, and fun fact: I first discovered Mark’s music by hearing him play at Carnegie Hall, while I was there listening to my friend Sonaljit play.

Mark and I talk about his music, yoga, and much more.  You will hear some music from Mark’s album “Feeling Right at Home.”

But, Mark has many albums, and I believe we play at least one song from one of his other albums.

“Mark was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. He began composing solo piano music the moment he sat down at the piano at the age of 7. His first piece was called The Cat and the Rain. Mark’s music reflects his love for nature, love and relationships, moods, travel and his quest for peace and tranquillity. Mr. Clyde Gilmour, broadcaster and host of CBC’s Gilmour’s Albums wrote about Mark’s music: ‘Beautiful little stories without words.’
