Marka has appeared on the Lincoln Center Chamber Music Society's "Meet the Music" series, in Avery Fisher Hall and Boston's Symphony Hall with the Brandenburg Ensemble, and as a member of the featured string quartet in the ABC documentary "Passion to Play." Internationally, she has performed in the Festival Presence de Ligeti in Paris, for the Queen of the Netherlands in Holland, and at Toru Takemitsu's memorial concert at Oji Hall in Tokyo. Marka received her training at Indiana University and the Mannes College of Music, and also holds a doctoral degree from the City University of New York—you may call her Dr. Marka. She has taught at Hofstra University and at the Kinhaven Music Festival, and she plays on a viola by the Brothers Grancino from 1683 with a bow by Leonard Tourte. Marka lives in Red Hook, NY with young son Benjamin and husband composer John Halle, who is head of the theory department at the Conservatory at Bard College. |
