Mark Herman

I came across Mark Herman’s videos on YouTube this evening.

I’ve never heard of him before, but I think he is a talented player.  See and hear for yourself.

“Mark Herman was born on August 25, 1987, and currently lives in Chicago, Illinois.  He has been studying the piano since he was seven years old and began classical organ lessons at the age of 12.  His first introduction to the theatre organ was when he was in fourth grade and was at the Embassy Theatre in downtown Fort Wayne.  This was made possible by the late Robert Goldstine and the local American Guild of Organists chapter’s “Room on the Organ Bench” program.  In 2001, he began theatre organ studies with John Ferguson of Indianapolis, who is recognized worldwide for his skills as a teacher.”
