Bio

In 2015, Mark performed for the first time at Carnegie Hall in New York City. He was invited by the team from Enlightened Piano Radio to perform at the EPR solo piano awards. Mr. Clyde Gilmour, broadcaster and host of CBC’s Gilmour’s Albums wrote about Mark’s music: “Beautiful little stories without words.” Mark Pinkus was born on the anniversary of Beethoven’s death. At the age of 7 Mark began composing music on his yellow acoustic piano. His first composition came to him while he was looking out his living room window, watching a black cat balancing on the window ledge as a rainstorm approached.

Mark’s music reflects his love for nature, love and relationships, moods, travel and his quest for peace and tranquility. Mark’s compositions are like sound paintings, creating picturesque images that take the listener’s imagination on a journey. From one piece to the next, there is a totally different and unique story to be told and unraveled.
