Musical career

Robin Mark made his first steps on the Schwyzerörgeli at the age of 6 on the instrument of his father Emanuel. At the age of 7 he first attended classes with Oswald Schaub in Landquart. What follows is a great deal of cooperation and support, thanks to which Robin Mark was able to make numerous appearances at a young age.

After playing with father Emanuel and brother Manuel in the “Family Chapel Mark”, Robin Mark gradually moved to Central Switzerland. With Pirmin Huber ( double bass ) and Jacqueline Wachter ( piano ) he founded the "Trio Robin Mark", with which he won the Swiss Young Musicians' Competition in 2006. Numerous appearances at home and abroad followed, on radio and television.

In 2009, Robin Mark concentrated entirely on music for the first time. This was followed by concerts in Berlin , Vienna and various festivals in Switzerland and nearby countries. He brought an average of 1 to 2 CD productions onto the market each year.
