About our Speaker & Artists
Peter Mark
Peter Mark served for over 35 years as Founding General/Artistic Director, and Chief Conductor of VIRGINIA OPERA (1975-2010) --where he is now Emeritus -- a company known for the discovery, development and presentation of major operatic talent in productions of musical and dramatic integrity – singers such as Renee Fleming, Diana Soviero, Frederick Burchinal, Barbara Dever, Brandon Jovanovic, Bryan Register, Brian Jagde and Lawrence Brownlee.
Respected in the field for his work at Virginia Opera, Peter Mark now utilizes his broad experience and skill to help singers integrate the finest operatic vocal and musical traditions with their repertoire through his regular Masterclasses and private coaching in NY and LA and online.
He has a uniquely comprehensive background and experience in opera – first as chief boy-soprano chorister and soloist of the Metropolitan Opera for three seasons in its glory days in the mid-1950’s, then as Concertmaster of the Columbia University Orchestra and Principal Violist of the Juilliard Orchestra and the Chicago Lyric Opera, then as Professor of Music and Drama at University of California at Santa Barbara, and then conducting opera for four decades at the companies he built and ran in Virginia, as well as conducting operas on five continents -- NYC, London, Mexico City, Buenos Aires, Sao Paulo, Krakow, Mozambique and Shanghai.
For The Salon on July 12, Peter Mark will introduce the trajectory of telling human stories through music from the Ancient Greeks through the latest century with recorded examples and some live singing on Zoom – when he will be joined on his virtual stage by the acclaimed Viktoriya Vita Koreneva and Kofi Hayford.
 Viktoriya Vita Koreneva
The Russian-American mezzo-soprano whose charismatic and rich distinctive voice has earned her the title of “the emotional heartthrob of the operatic stage.”
 Kofi Hayford
The prize-winning Ghanaian-American noted for his impressive stentorian bass sound, identified for its unique rumbling timber and which he spins with baritone flair.
For the time being, the Salon will continue to meet on Zoom. When appropriate, we will meet in person once again at Arroyo del Rey.
