Mark Anderson
Having begun piano studies at the age of 5, pianist Mark Anderson, a native of the San Francisco Bay Area, has become one of the world's outstanding pianists.
After successes at the 1993 Leeds (U.K.) and 1994 William Kapell (U.S.) International Piano Competitions, Mark Anderson toured much of the world as recitalist and soloist. He has performed in Japan, throughout the former Soviet Union, Europe and Great Britain, Ireland and North America. He is invited regularly to perform as soloist with orchestras throughout the U.S. and abroad. Closer to home, Mr. Anderson performs with a variety of Bay Area ensembles such as San Francisco Contemporary Music Players and The San Jose Chamber Players. As a duo partner, he has performed with flutist Robert Stallman, the Vertavo Quartet of Norway and the Ives Quartet in residence at Stanford University.
Mark began his studies with Eugene Masluk in Livermore, California and received his formative training with Trula Whelan and Aiko Onishi. Having been awarded a Fulbright Scholarship in 1987, Mark finished his formal training at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester, England under Ryszard Bakst and concluded his formal studies with Benjamin Kaplan in London. Mark records exclusively with Nimbus Records and has released six commercial CDs to date, all of which have met with considerable critical acclaim. His most recent recording, solo piano music of Hans von Bulow, contains works never before recorded and was released in November 2011.
Mr. Anderson holds a bachelor degree in piano performance from San Jose State University as well as postgraduate degrees from the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester, and the Royal Academy of Music in London.
