CJO #MusicianMonday
Mark Sterbank 🎷

Being the middle sibling was challenging enough, but then he was also in a musical family whose father was an aspiring concert pianist. Children in the Sterbank home got early musical instruction on the piano, but after three years on the 88’s a nine-year-old Mark picked up his uncle’s saxophone. Later on he chose music education as a profession, his mother’s career.

“I have a very full heart and feel very moved by what is being played.”

After a CJO concert he unwinds with milk and cookies and enjoys talking about the concert with his wife.
