Lesley-Jane’s concert diary has always exhibited an eclectic mix of engagements, serving to demonstrate her wide-ranging vocal skills and the enormous variety of musical styles she undertakes. In particular new music items feature large, but naturally there has also been the typical demand for “greats”.
Post lockdown, concert bookings have been fewer, but she has remained in demand for recordings, and has received some lovely reviews thereby. Most recently:
”Lesley-Jane Rogers’ soaring soprano voice is crystal clear and a perfect vehicle for the lovely songs”
