NZ star soprano Anna Leese will be on stage with Andrea Bocelli during his 20 August Vector Arena show, and she is also performing a series of ten solo dates around NZ throughout August, with an amazing selection of repertoire throughout the tour.
Anna completed a Bachelor of Music degree with First Class Honours at the University of Otago and was recipient of an impressive number of awards and prizes. Anna had a predominantly choral introduction to music through singing in church choirs, and was a member of the New Zealand Secondary Students choir, and the Tower New Zealand Youth Choir before she decided to concentrate on solo voice.
Since moving to London she has won the 2004 Royal Overseas League Vocal competition. Her recent concert engagements include the London Mozart Players under Andrew Parrot. She recorded Elgar’s The Apostles in Canterbury Cathedral with the Canterbury Choral Society and a debut recital disc on the EMI label with Graham Johnson.
