Hi, I’m Mark
Let’s make music!
Whether playing screaming lead trumpet over a shout chorus, blending seamlessly into a symphony section, or delivering a soft, lyrical solo, my goal is always to serve the musical needs of the ensemble. With a solid foundation in both classical and commercial music, I thrive as a versatile performer, dedicated to creating meaningful musical connections through collaboration.
