Biography
Mark began his musical journey studying the piano from roughly four years of age. He won a scholarship to the Purcell School of Music, where he studied for eight years, performing at venues such as Milton Court and Wigmore Hall. After Purcell, he became an organ scholar at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, where he studied music as an undergraduate, followed by a Master’s degree in composition. During this time, he directed Emmanuel College Choir’s summer tour in 2022, and was the winner of the University’s concerto competition, performing Britten’s Piano Concerto under Delyana Lazarova in 2023.
After holding posts at Great St Mary’s, Cambridge, and St Martin-in-the-Fields, London, he is now the Organ Scholar at the Royal Hospital Chelsea. Alongside this, he is a second year Master’s student at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, studying Collaborative Piano, where he recently won the St James Chamber Prize and conducted the student production of the Broadway musical Little Women.
