Mark Wilkinson is a Canadian performing artist who defies labels in his pursuit of artistic projects of unique proportions. At once a classically trained actor and singer, he has navigated the largest stages and concert halls and the most intimate venues and black box theatres, performing drama, opera, comedy, musical theatre, jazz, pop, folk, country, and more. His eclectic performance career has expressed a rare versatility of artistry founded in a gift for truthful storytelling in such a vast array of repertoire.
Known as a consummate collaborator, he has navigated traditional music and drama, choral repertoire, intimate stage work, cabaret, recital, and premiere works. This dedication to collaboration has taken him around the world and been broadcast on CBC Music and Television. He owes a fond debt of gratitude to all of his colleagues from whom he has learned so much over the years, thanks to their generous artistry and natural guidance.
A proud member of the Ottawa, Ontario artistic community, he performs frequently at home and abroad. Recent collaborations include his Washington, D.C. recital début with pianist Audrey Andrist, returns to Ottawa Chamberfest, East Chamber Music, the Canadian Centennial Choir, and the String's of St. John's, as well as his début with the exciting new Operatic Revelry collective.

Mark Wilkinson, who was not only extremely enthusiastic but extremely flexible, looked like an angel that had been stretched -- short he wasn't -- and the ensemble followed his every sinuous move with rapt attention, as did I.
