Recital Overview
Lesley-Jane also works closely with the recorder player John Turner. John's particular interest in championing 20th century English music has led to Lesley-Jane giving performances of songs by such interesting composers as Peter Crossley-Holland, Julius Harrison, Percy Young, Thomas Pitfield, Stephen Dodgson, Ian Parrott, Cyril Scott, Wilfrid Mellers, Walter Bergmann and John Joubert among others. These recitals are usually given with the pianist Peter Lawson.
