ABOUT Mark Lackey

Composer, performer, educator MARK LACKEY works in a range of genres to reach listeners who might not otherwise encounter newly-composed art music. 

As a composer of vocal, electronic, chamber, orchestral, and wind ensemble music, Mark Lackey has garnered premieres from many gifted artists including Orquestra Sinfônica do Teatro Nacional Claudio Santoro (Brasília), the Idaho Falls Symphony, Rhymes With Opera, and the Eastman Wind Orchestra. His music is available on the Centaur, Potenza Music, Composers Concordance, and MSR Classics labels. Mark Lackey's current project, TOGETHER, blends musical styles as a metaphor and an opportunity for bringing people together with a message of renewal and hope.
