About the Soloist
 Mark
Lopeman, Clarinet, has been a member of the Park Avenue Chamber Symphony
since 2002. He is also an attorney and a member of the Lawyers’ Orchestra.
Mark started on the alto saxophone at age eight in his native
Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. Before moving to New York in 1981 he had earned music
degrees from the Eastman School of Music (B.M. 1978) and the University of
Akron (M.M. 1981), won the award for “Most Outstanding Instrumentalist” at
the 1979 Notre Dame Collegiate Jazz Festival, and toured with and arranged
for the Glenn Miller and Tommy Dorsey orchestras. Mark went on to tour and
record with the Buddy Rich big band (often performing with vocalists
including Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett and Sarah Vaughan) as well as the
Woody Herman, Toshiko Akiyoshi and Mel Lewis big bands, and to play in
orchestras for Broadway shows, with the Chris Byars Octet, the Loren
Schoenberg Jazz Orchestra and Vince Giordano’s Nighthawks.
Mark studied clarinet at the University of Akron with Judith
Pauley and Cecil Gold, at the Eastman School of Music with Ramon Ricker and
William Osseck, and in New York with Paul Garment, Joe Allard and Billy
Kerr.
Mark is also a composer and arranger, and a noted transcriber
of classic jazz recordings, often assisting and working with jazz artists
including Gil Evans, Gerry Mulligan, Dizzy Gillespie and John Lewis, and
institutions including the American Jazz Orchestra, the Smithsonian Jazz
Masterworks Orchestra, the Carnegie Hall Jazz Orchestra and the Lincoln
Center Jazz Orchestra. Mark is a graduate of Columbia Law School (J.D. 1990)
and a member of a New York City law firm.
