Listen to this lovely and deep conversation with internationally acclaimed solo piano artist Mark Pinkus.
It was such an honor to speak with Mark, and fun fact: I first discovered Mark's music by hearing him play at Carnegie Hall, while I was there listening to my friend Sonaljit play.
Mark and I talk about his music, yoga, and much more. You will hear some music from Mark's album "Feeling Right at Home."
But, Mark has many albums, and I believe we play at least one song from one of his other albums.
