Sharon Lynn Makarenko is a Canadian multi-instrumental musician and composer. Classically trained, she holds an LLCM and ARCT in Piano Performance and an ARCT in Pedagogy. She had the honour of studying under Lilian Schmunk, whose teacher had studied with one of Chopin’s students. She has enjoyed an active musical career, working extensively in multiple genres, from classical to folk to rock. Minimal and contemplative, her current work is influenced by her exploration of the intersection of classical music with the modern world. She is fascinated with the human experience…the passing of time, distance, and the space between…the human experience of love and loss, and beauty found in the smallest moments. Her piano works have been released by Sonder House, Petrichor North Records, Blue Spiral Records, Andante Piano, and Manners McDade.
