Recent highlights include solo appearances with GRAMMY®-winning Apollo’s Fire, solo debuts with the Jacksonville Symphony and Boise Philharmonic, and his solo debut with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra in Handel’s Israel in Egypt. In 2024, he received a GRAMMY® nomination for his work as a soloist on Apollo’s Fire’s recording of the Handel’s Israel in Egypt.
Mark Murphy Vogel is a versatile musician, excelling as both a tenor and pianist. He recently made his Wigmore Hall debut alongside his husband, baritone Edward Vogel. Mark performs with many of the nation’s premier professional choirs, including Apollo’s Fire, True Concord Voices & Orchestra, Seraphic Fire, and The Crossing, and was awarded first prize in the 2021 Audrey Rooney Vocal Competition. As a choral scholar at Hereford Cathedral, he performed in the 2018 Three Choirs Festival, and at prestigious venues such as Buckingham Palace, and the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City
