ADJUDICATOR - LESLEE HEYS
Leslee is a multi-faceted musician living and working in St. John’s, Newfoundland. In addition to a dynamic piano studio, she is the collaborative pianist for the award-winning choirs Shallaway, Lady Cove and Newman Sound, and is a sought-after accompanist and adjudicator. Lately, her interests have led her into the realm of composing and arranging. Her choral settings, particularly of Newfoundland and Labrador songs, have gained international recognition, and are introducing Canadian and American choirs to the richness of her provincial musical heritage.
Leslee’s skills as coach/accompanist have led to international performances in more than a dozen countries, as well as participation in Canadian events such as Festival 500, Opera on the Avalon, the National Music Festival, and the rESOund Festival of Contemporary Music. Leslee holds a Bachelor of Music Performance from the University of Toronto, a Master of Music Performance from the University of Western Ontario, and an Associateship from the Royal Conservatory of Toronto (Performance). She subsists mostly on peanut butter.
