Mark Anderson, piano

A native of the San Francisco Bay Area, pianist Mark Anderson has appeared as soloist with Sir Simon Rattle, Nicholas McCegan, William Boughton, George Cleve, Alun Francis, and Adam Fischer and in concert halls such as Alice Tully Hall, Weill Hall at Carnegie Hall, The Kennedy Center, Zurich’s Tonhalle, London’s Wigmore Hall and Tokyo’s Bunka Kaikan, among others. His formative training was with Aiko Onishi in California and Benjamin Kaplan in London.

He is the founder of the Röntgen Piano Trio and has collaborated and recorded in the solo, two-piano, song/lieder and chamber music genres. As a solo recording artist, his thirteen solo CDs, all on Nimbus Records, have met with consistent critical acclaim. He has recorded two CDs of the solo piano music of Hans von Bülow and in 2013 embarked on research that explores the solo piano works of Dutch composer Julius Röntgen. His work has led to the release of four CDs of Röntgen’s solo piano music and one of 2-piano music of Röntgen, Reinecke and Brahms. Included on the Bülow and Röntgen discs are previously unrecorded and unpublished works. Newly discovered works by Rontgen and edited by Mr. Anderson are now available through Nimbus Music Publishing.

Mark is chair of the keyboard division at University of British Columbia. His students have been prize-winners in all levels of competition and often go on to successful careers in music. He is regularly invited to give masterclasses and speak at piano pedagogy-related seminars and symposia and continues an active performing schedule in both North America and abroad.
