Her most recent role was as the Sandman in Manhattan Opera Studios production of Hansel and Gretel. During her time at VCU, Leigh was a featured soloist with The VCU Women's Choir and the Commonwealth Singers on multiple occations. She was also featured in the roles of: Gianetta (The Gondoliers), Jou-Jou (The Merry Widow) and Papagena (The Magic Flute). During her time at school she started teaching voice lessons in Richmond VA. Since then, she has taught students from all different ages and abilities. She loves how a voice lesson can turn any kind of day into an amazing one. The ability to make a student smile through music when something finally clicks or they get to sing their favorite song is the most amazing feeling. This year, along with a personal recital and volunteer work, Leigh was contracted to sing as the mezzo soprano soloist in Saint-Saens Noel. This past June she also performed a concert at Carnegie Hall in New York City. In the year to come she will be studying with Arianna Zukerman, building her personal voice studio and preparing to sing with her regular church gig as well as with the National String Symphonia! She looks forward to helping her current students grow and to meeting new students. There truly is nothing better then sharing the gift of music!
