Lyric Tenor Lenard Whiting has sung professionally for the past two and a half decades. Over the course of his distinguished career he has worked with the Canadian Opera Company, Opera in Concert, Vancouver Opera Company, Toronto Operetta Theatre, Summer Opera Lyric Theatre, Opera Anonymous, Opera York, Maritime Concert Opera in Nova Scotia and Opera Mississauga.
 
Among his memorable appearances was at an evening celebrating English composers, most notably Benjamin Britten, at an Opera Anonymous/TrypTych Productions performance in Toronto, and at a highly successful presentation of Sir Edward Elgar's Dream of Gerontius, one of the greatest choral works to come from a British composer since Purcell, brought to Toronto audiences by the Pax Christi Chorale with Lenard singing the part of Gerontius.

Lenard was born in Kenora, Ontario, and educated at the Faculty of Music at the University of Toronto. He lives in Toronto where he is also active as a conductor, music educator (both privately and with the University of Toronto), Co-founder/producer of TrypTych Productions, "Canada's Advocates of the Vocal Arts", and church organist and choir director at Trinity Presbyterian Church, Toronto. Lenard enthusiastically shares his passion of music with all with whom he comes in contact.
