Henry, a student of W. Perry Johnson (Ecole Normale de Musique de Paris, Diplome Superieur), has studied classical piano since age 6. Henry has performed in the Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Modern styles. Recent recital pieces include Chopin, Fantasie Impromptu; Liszt, Consolation; Beethoven, Sonata in C; Rachmaninoff, Prelude in C sharp; Mozart, Sonata in C K. 309 Allegro; Chopin, Prelude No. 15. In addition to piano, Henry's musical interests include saxophone, guitar, banjo, and ukulele.

Henry also enjoys producing remixes. A recent creation involved re-mixing an old California tune, Lover's Lullaby, written and recorded by his grandfather in the 1960's.

In addition to music, Henry enjoys science. He's created a space balloon (www.spaceballooncam.com) and a health website (www.vitalives.org), and looks forward to participating in the Global Scholars program at the African Leadership Academy in Johannesburg, South Africa this summer.

Henry thanks his piano teacher, Perry Johnson, for all that he has done over the years. He also thanks Mr. Svejda, Mr. Pearson, and Hannah Voigt for helping so much with the OPRF High School concerto as well as preparation for this concerto. He also thanks his parents, grandparents, and, even, his brother and sister!

Henry dedicates this concerto to his recently departed grandfather, Larry Marks. May his love of music live forever.
