“Intriguing.” – New York Concert Review

"... From quietly intoned sound points to grand waves that warbled and thundered." - The Washington Post

"Inventive ... transfixing ... Of the new interludes the most inviting was Mr. Chan’s, a study in repeating, slowly morphing figures built around chimelike tintinnabulations and ending up in a chromatic Minimalist swirl." - New York Times

New York-based composer and pianist Marc Chan is a native of Singapore. Described by the New York Times as “a gifted young pianist and composer” who writes music of “impressive … daunting physicality”, Marc’s music has been performed by the Russian National Orchestra, New York’s TACTUS Contemporary Music Ensemble, Boston’s Alea III, Red Light New Music, pianists Xiayin Wang and David Broome. He has also worked with flutist Patti Monson, conductors David Gilbert and Theodore Antoniou, Dutch soprano Oda Vilrokx and violinist of the Muir String Quartet Peter Zazofsky. Marc’s music has been performed at Carnegie Hall, the Smithsonian, Le Poisson Rouge, Singapore’s Esplanade Theaters On The Bay, and various other venues. His Nocturne for solo guitar has been published in the journal Guitar Review.

As a pianist, Marc is active as a performer and interpreter of contemporary classical music. He has performed with Boston University’s new music ensemble Time’s Arrow and with Ensemble Robot at the Boston Museum of Science as part of their ‘When Science Meets Art’ series. As an accompanist, he has accompanied singers from the Metropolitan Opera and the New York City Opera.

Marc is a graduate of the Manhattan School of Music and Boston University. He has studied with Giampaolo Bracali, Theodore Antoniou, and Richard Cornell. Marc has also studied conducting with Maestros David Gilbert and Theodore Antoniou and participated in master classes given by Ned Rorem and Lukas Foss. An avid blogger, Marc’s review of a Boston Symphony concert was quoted in length by Geoff Edgers of the Boston Globe.
