Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Newmark, John, 1904-1991 : Born in Bremen, Germany, to a family which cultivated music and painting, John Newmark (Hans Joseph Neumark) studied piano there and in Leipzig. He settled in Montreal in 1944 and became a Canadian citizen in 1946. One of North America's finest accompanists and ensemble players, his name has been invariably associated with such renowned singers as Maureen Forrester, George London, Pierrette Alarie, Léopold Simoneau, Bernard Diamant, John Boyden and Janet Baker, with violinists Noël Brunet, Hyman Bress and Alexander Brott, and with cellists Walter Joachim and Paul Tortelier, as well as with the Montreal String Quartet. In 1949 and 1950, John Newmark accompanied the celebrated English contralto Kathleen Ferrier in two critically acclaimed North-American tours. They won the Grand prix du disque de l'Académie Charles Cros in 1952 for their recording of the Schumann cycles and Brahms's Vier ernste Gesänge. From 1972 to 1975, Newmark was an artistic advisor to the Opéra du Québec and served on many competition juries. In 1974, he was made an Officer of the Order of Canada. In 1979, he received the Canadian Music Council Medal, and in 1988, the Prix Denise Pelletier.
