Mark Golamco is a musician and interdisciplinary artist who uses songs and visuals to connect and comment on different aspects of his background. Trained as a classical musician, he studied the viola at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music and UCLA. Not satisfied with the role of a classical performer, He went on to experiment with interdisciplinary and cross-genre compositions. He found freedom in the art context to invest classical music techniques, folk and contemporary idioms with personal content and forms of performance art and video. As an out gay man and a first generation immigrant, his music often describes romantic longing and social displacement. Golamco has performed at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, NY, The Perry and Marty Granoff Center for the Creative Arts at Brown University, Providence, RI, David Zwirner Gallery, New York, NY, and the Redcat Auditorium, Los Angeles, CA.
