Florence Mak<\/h1>\n\n\n

Pianist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mather Place<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Born and raised in Canada, Florence Mak quickly realized that she would not be able to fulfill her dream as an All-Star hockey player in the NHL, given that she has never put on a pair of hockey skates. As a result, she turned her focus to piano and has since appeared on stage throughout North America and Europe as a soloist, chamber and orchestral musician, and page turner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equally passionate about music education, Florence is the Artistic Director and a founding member of Lynx Project, a nonprofit art-song organization whose mission is to link communities with inclusive concerts and innovative educational programming. In 2017, LYNX launched their Amplify Series, dedicated to celebrating diverse voices through newly-commissioned songs.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without having the vocal range of a bass-baritone or ability to circular breathe, Florence decided to live vicariously through others by way of musical collaboration. As a result, Florence received her doctorate in Piano Accompanying and Chamber Music from the Eastman School of Music. She recently held positions as a Collaborative Pianist at Bard College Conservatory of Music and as the Coordinator of Collaborative Piano at Ohio University. In work and in life, she is an avid punster and a certified Rick-Roll enthusiast.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
