Described by Rossini as "the last mortal sin of my old age", Rossini saw no reason why sacred music should wear a pious and penitential frown. Indeed, the Mass is neither very "petite" nor that solemn (!), but rather it is a splendid operatic outpouring, whose arias and choruses are of grand proportions.
Concert Diary
Lesley-Jane will be retiring in 2025.
Rather than take down this website, it will remain as an exhibition demonstrating her wide-ranging vocal skills and the enormous variety of concert work she undertaken over the years. Her past concerts page illustrates not only an fascinating mix of composers but also the typical demand for “greats”. To view Lesley-Jane's past concerts, click here.
Other pages on this site are very much active, not least as composer and teacher.
