Since his successes at the International Piano Competition of Japan (1992), Busoni (1992 &#8211; Italy), Leeds (1993 &#8211; U.K.), Washington (1993 \u2013 Washington D.C.) and William Kapell (1994 &#8211; Maryland, U.S.) international piano competitions, Mark Anderson has appeared frequently as recitalist, soloist and chamber musician. He has performed in Japan, throughout much of Europe and Great Britain, Ireland and North America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mark Anderson has collaborated with conductors such as Sir Simon Rattle, Nicholas McCegan, William Boughton, George Cleve, and Adam Fischer. In recital, Mark has appeared at New York\u2019s Alice Tully Hall and Weill Hall, the Kennedy Center and the Phillips Gallery in Washington D.C., London&#8217;s Wigmore Hall and Zurich&#8217;s Tonhalle and elsewhere throughout Europe and North America. His solo and concerto performances are complimented by chamber music work, most recently with the newly formed R\u00f6ntgen Piano Trio. The trio is committed to illuminating the darker corners of the piano trio literature while giving fresh interpretations of the masterworks in that genre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr. Anderson records exclusively with Nimbus Records and has released recordings of works by Liszt, Schumann, Brahms, Dohnanyi, Copland, Gershwin, Mussorgsky and Stravinsky. He has recorded 2 CDs of the solo piano works by Hans von B\u00fclow and, since 2014, has released five CDs of solo piano music of the German\/Dutch composer Julius R\u00f6ntgen. Along with recent recordings of R\u00f6ntgen\u2019s piano music, Mark is researching and editing scores of unpublished works that heretofore existed only in manuscript. Recording, editing and publishing these previously unknown works introduces new and high-quality works into the piano repertoire. Mark recorded a CD of 2-pianos works with Canadian pianist Michelle Mares, which includes works by Brahms, Reinecke and R\u00f6ntgen \u2013 the works by R\u00f6ntgen being world premieres, the scores of which are available through Nimbus Music Publishing (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wyastone.co.uk\/nmp\">https:\/\/www.wyastone.co.uk\/nmp<\/a>). Most recently, Julius Rontgen Piano Music 6 was released April 4, 2025. All recordings are available on Amazon, Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube and other online streaming platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mark received his early training with Trula Whelan and later more formative study with Aiko Onishi in California. In 1988, he received a Fulbright Scholarship to continue his studies in the UK with Ryszard Bakst in Manchester and Benjamin Kaplan in London. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mark Anderson is an Associate Professor and chair of the keyboard division at the University of British Columbia School of Music and is the former owner and Executive Director of New World Music Academy in Pleasanton, California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;Mr. Anderson is a Steinway artist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--nextpage-->\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left has-text-color\" style=\"color:#b71c1c\"><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left has-text-color\" style=\"color:#b71c1c\">Ian Parker<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pianist; Music Director and Principal Conductor of the VAM Symphony Orchestra<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-vivid-red-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vancouvercompetition.com\/zh\/2026-vimc-jury\/1\/\">Alexander Brose<\/a><\/mark> | <a href=\"https:\/\/vancouvercompetition.com\/zh\/2026-vimc-jury\/2\/\">Robin McCabe<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/vancouvercompetition.com\/zh\/2026-vimc-jury\/3\/\">Timothy Long<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-vivid-red-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vancouvercompetition.com\/zh\/2026-vimc-jury\/4\/\">Mark Anderson<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/vancouvercompetition.com\/zh\/2026-vimc-jury\/5\/\">Ian Parker<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/vancouvercompetition.com\/zh\/2026-vimc-jury\/6\/\">Domagoj Ivanovic<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-vivid-red-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vancouvercompetition.com\/zh\/2026-vimc-jury\/7\/\">Lani Krantz<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/vancouvercompetition.com\/zh\/2026-vimc-jury\/8\/\">Brenda Fedoruk<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1294\" height=\"1592\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vancouvercompetition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/5-Ian-Parker.jpeg?resize=1294%2C1592\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5500\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.085057471264368;object-fit:cover;width:426px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vancouvercompetition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/5-Ian-Parker.jpeg?w=1294&amp;ssl=1 1294w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vancouvercompetition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/5-Ian-Parker.jpeg?resize=122%2C150&amp;ssl=1 122w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vancouvercompetition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/5-Ian-Parker.jpeg?resize=832%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 832w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vancouvercompetition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/5-Ian-Parker.jpeg?resize=768%2C945&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vancouvercompetition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/5-Ian-Parker.jpeg?resize=1248%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1248w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vancouvercompetition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/5-Ian-Parker.jpeg?resize=10%2C12&amp;ssl=1 10w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vancouvercompetition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/5-Ian-Parker.jpeg?resize=600%2C738&amp;ssl=1 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Screenshot<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Magnetic, easy-going, and delightfully articulate, Canadian pianist and conductor Ian Parker captivates audiences wherever he goes.
