Oliver Markson, piano
With engagements in Japan, China, Mexico, Brazil, Europe, Thailand and the United States, Oliver Markson is establishing himself internationally as a concert pianist, composer and lecturer. Recent performances include the Tchaikovsky 1st Concerto and Grieg Concerto with the Carlos Chávez Orchestra in Mexico City and the Beethoven Triple Concerto with the Querétaro Philharmonic Orchestra in Querétaro; solo recitals in New York, London and Shanghai; vocal recitals with sopranos Monica Harte, Nina Berman and Kristi Bryson; and violin/piano recital tours with Mayumi Fujikawa in England and Japan, leading to CD releases under the Japanese label Mittenwald in 2009 and 2011. Oliver Marksons recent compositions such as Haiku, Firebird, Evocation and Visions 1 and 2 reflect his European/Japanese roots blending French Impressionism with traditional Japanese elements. His Hymn for String Orchestra (2020) is scheduled to be published in the UK under Toccata Classics. His doctoral dissertation on the music of Russian composer Nikolai Medtner was supervised by musicologist Richard Kramer. This paved the way to a final doctoral recital at the CUNY Graduate Center, following the tradition of the composers own performances in consisting entirely of Medtner's songs and solo piano works. He has since lectured on Medtners philosophy on the relationship between subject matter and content, intellect and intuition. Oliver Markson is a faculty member at the Bronx Community College CUNY where he gives classes consisting of music history, music theory and music philosophy as well as piano classes. He has been a judge in the 2018, 2019 and 2020 Tokyo Piano Competitions, in which he also gave public piano masterclasses. www.olivermarkson.com
