Leslie is a great musician and world class conductor. A great colleague and very nice guy!!!
Bravo!!!!
A great appointment by the Academy. So glad that Leslie has found a new home.
He got shafted by the Joffrey Ballet here in Chicago, and the new “conductor” is a musical illiterate who thinks he can conduct.
Bravo to Leslie!
