Lesley-Jane Rogers' extensive recital repertoire is not listed here, but comprises songs from the lieder repertory, mélodies, English Song and American Song, as well as light music. She worked regularly with the pianist Christopher Ross until his sudden and unexpected death in December 2005. She is now forging new recital duos with the exciting young pianist Jennie-Helen Moston, and the renowned harpist Danielle Perrett. Click here to listen to Lesley-Jane.

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.
