I just wanted to let you know how thankful I am for your special gift of transformational music... It helped me so much in the creative process of writing my book, which has just been published.

Thank you, again, for helping me reach that place in my heart where my dreams live. ---K.C. Craig , MD - McCoy Artists Group

Mark Torgeson is a classically trained pianist who plays the music of transformation. His spontaneously created songs are joyful and filled with heartfelt expression. Drawing inspiration from nature and the cosmos, he delights audiences with his sense of childlike wonderment and unbridled expression.

Mark’s style is classically influenced with an orientation toward the romantic and impressionistic. He also draws from modern traditions and some popular idioms. His repertoire is all original, with free improvisation forming a strong foundation in his concerts. Mark engages the audience by requesting they supply themes for him to play. These themes may range from natural elements - the sea, an evergreen forest - or be as diverse as human emotions - such as passion or grace. His ability to grasp an idea and make it musically sparkle continually thrills his audiences.

For twenty five years Mark has performed and conducted events in the mid-Atlantic, Midwest and West coast regions. He believes we are at a major juncture in human consciousness. “Every major age of cultural evolution has been accompanied by parallel trends in the arts supporting the shifts of heightened awareness. Music with this intention is extremely powerful, and can be used as a bridge toward transformation. We are at a time when music will take the stage as an agent accelerating our ability to change by providing an experience which opens the heart and alters the doorways of perception and behavior.”

Recording credits include fourteen albums, including Living in the Miracle - 27 Topics for Global Shifting, a nine album set designed to help accommodate the swift changes now upon society. His music has received critical acclaim and aired nationwide and internationally. - McCoy Artists Group
