Star Spotlight

Mark Vincent

After wowing audiences at the recent tribute concert to John Farnham, Mark Vincent caps off 2026 by starring at the APO's NYE Gala Concerts. He is one of Australia's most successful cross-over tenors, and has mesmerised audiences across the world with his rich and soulful voice.

Mark Vincent is one of Australia’s most beloved classical crossover artists, renowned for his powerful tenor voice, charismatic stage presence and deep passion for both classical music and timeless popular song. Since winning Australia’s Got Talent at just 15 years old, he has built an extraordinary career spanning ten albums – including eight ARIA Classical Crossover chart-toppers – and has earned a devoted audience across Australia, the UK and Ireland.

Praised for his ability to connect emotionally with audiences and bring new life to classic repertoire, Mark has performed alongside internationally renowned artists including Katherine Jenkins, Susan Boyle and Tommy Fleming. Career highlights include touring the UK with Katherine Jenkins, including performances at London’s Royal Albert Hall and Glasgow’s Royal Concert Hall, appearing at BBC Proms in the Park in Belfast, and sold-out headline performances throughout Ireland.

In recent years, Mark has increasingly focused on developing his career independently through his own label, Roccella Music. His 2024 album Life Is Beautiful debuted at No. 1 on the ARIA Classical Chart and featured Se Ami La Vita, a song written and produced by Andrea Bocelli collaborator Pierpaolo Guerrini, which received Bocelli’s personal endorsement.

Alongside his recording career, Mark has established himself as a respected musical theatre performer, appearing in productions including Dirty Dancing, My Fair Lady and, most recently, starring as Old Deuteronomy in the 40th anniversary Australian tour of CATS.

2026 has cemented his place among Australia’s leading vocalists. Mark joined the John Farnham Band for The Songs of John Farnham – A Living Legend: The Celebration Concert and received a standing ovation for his performance

In December 2026, he will perform alongside legendary Spanish tenor José Carreras as part of José Carreras & Friends.

Mark will round out the year joining John Foreman and the Australian Pops Orchestra for the annual New Year’s Eve and the Day Before Gala Concerts at Melbourne’s Hamer Hall.

“This is the perfect way to cap off what has, for me, been an extraordinary year,” says Mark.

“After the thrill of performing at the Farnham concert and the honour of performing alongside José Carreras, this New Year’s Eve Gala – with Caroline O’Connor, John Foreman and the 60-piece Australian Pops Orchestra – will be a magical, memorable way to celebrate with good friends, great atmosphere and wonderful, uplifting music.”
