Title of Program: Mark DeRose Music & Art!
Description: Mark’s show combines his love for the visual arts with his love for song writing. The songs, artwork and the show’s audience engaging activities all complement one another to achieve his goal of inspiring children to embrace their own creativity and individuality. This family-friendly performance includes singing, acting out lyrics, dancing and playing along on his special one-of-a-kind handmade drums and shakers.
Presenter Bio: Mark had the pleasure of performing and working as a sideman (Steven Courtney and the Suitcase Musicians) in the children’s music market. He never realized how rewarding it would be to perform for this demographic. For the past 12 years, Mark has continued to work within the children’s music market as a solo artist, performing at wide variety of shows and events. In particular, he’s enjoyed performing regularly in the tri-county library systems (Lancaster, York, Dauphin).
