Dr. Mark Ross Clark, director of opera and musical theater at the University of Louisiana
at Monroe, was recently a featured presenter at the National Association of Teachers
of Singing convention in New York, NY.
During the four-day convention hosted by the National Opera Association, Clark introduced
his new book with assistance from award-winning Broadway composer of “A Catered Affair,”
John Bucchino.
Clark’s book, “The Broadway Song: Finding the Truths,” will be published this year
by Oxford University Press—the largest academic publisher in the world.
In his publication, Clark analyzes 100 great Broadway songs, and each song entry features
an interview piece with the song’s composer or lyricist, original director, or performer.
Clark has taught at ULM for over six years.
He received his doctorate degree in opera production from the University of Washington,
and received performance degrees in vocal performance and pedagogy from Indiana University.
