bio

Nicholas Zork is a singer-songwriter, composer, music director and collaborative artist. His songs, writing, teaching, and music practices explore ways that music can resonate, embody meaning, cultivate diverse and inclusive communities, and overcome social barriers.

As a musical director he has created collaborative concerts at Joe’s Pub at the Public Theater, Apollo Music Cafe, and Rockwood Music Hall. And he co-curates, with Pauline Kim Harris, the Carnegie Hill Concerts series, a chamber music series that features artists of different genres and disciplines in curated, shared programs, bringing people together to participate in the celebration and cultivation of New York City’s diverse community (carnegiehillconcerts.org).

Nicholas’ classical compositions have been performed by university and festival choirs, and his music has appeared in numerous television programs. He has written songs with Grace Weber, Lynette Williams, and Wayna. He wrote and arranged songs for Gil McKinney’s debut album (#1 iTunes jazz, #8 Billboard jazz) and wrote a song for the feature film Permission (Rebecca Hall, Dan Stevens, Jason Sudeikis, Tribeca Film Festival). And he can heard on recordings with Jon Foreman and Sufjan Stevens. In addition to writing and recording with other artists, Nicholas also performs his own folk-oriented pop songs. His EPs, “Questions I Can’t Answer,” “All We Own,” and “Promises I Can’t Keep” explore questions of love, loss, doubt and hope through stories—both autobiographical and imagined.
