His real name is Mark Cameron but he's been known to countless kids and their families as Mr.

Mark, creator of wild and wonderful music for kids to sing and dance to. Armed with a

From 1990 till 2018, Mark Cameron was a percussionist/accompanist for Canada’s Royal

Winnipeg Ballet School, where the kids named him “Mr Mark”. He has composed music for

innumerable dances, on countless instruments, or even things that most people would not

consider instruments. A washboard, a turkey baster, or a musical trench coat!

Beginning in 1997 till 2018 Mr Mark was also a very popular artist and clinician with The

Manitoba Arts Council's Artist In The Schools Program, sharing his enthusiasm and Musical

know-how, with kids across the province.

For the last 11 seasons Mr Mark has partnered with The Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra,

writing, staging, performing and composing for their very popular Kids concerts series. In May

2022, Mr Mark performed with The Regina Symphony Orchestra in a show he created called "

The Adventures Of JS Box". A story of all the fun you can have with your imagination, and a

Jumbo Sized Box ! In January 2023, The Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra staged Mr Mark’s

Symphony show for kids called “Melodious Prime vs The Boyz of Noise”. A story where the

audience must help our superhero save the orchestra from the exploits of the evil Boys of

Noise! All of these kid friendly shows created by Mr Mark introduce children and their families

to the wonders of symphonic music.

So whether you're singing the praises of Macaroni and Cheese or going on an adventure with
