I'm in love with music. That is what this is all about, is my relationship with it. Not my talent, not my luck, not my what are opportunities. It's about your relationship to the music that you want to perform in front of people because that is the only thing that we all have in common. In our fifth episode of this season, titled Dances, Improvisations, and Song, we welcome the acclaimed Steinway artist, celebrated soloist, and master of improvisation, Mark Markham. Known for his remarkable tone production and versatility as a concert pianist, Mark has captivated audiences around the world with his artistry.
It's lovely that you can do something. That's not the point. We're not trying to show people that we do things. We're trying to be something through music so their lives will shift a little bit for the better, hopefully, during the time that you're with them. Beyond his solo career, Mark shares insights into his extensive journey as a collaborative pianist, including his 20-year partnership with the legendary Jesse Norman, performing over 300 concerts across the globe.
And she called and she goes, hello, Mark. I said hello. She goes, I hear we have some work to do together. I said, yes, we do. Did you get the program? Yes. Do you like it? And I kind of laughed at myself like, what am I supposed to say? I showed up at her house a few weeks later in London. She had never met me. She had never heard me play. And she took it on other people's word that I could do my job well. And I showed up and we had our first rehearsal, which was fantastic. And at the end, leaving the house, and she puts her hand on my shoulder and says, they told me you were good. And they were right.
