Leslie Opatril Upcoming Performances

Welcome!

My name is Leslie Opatril and I am a Canadian musical artist.
An alumna of the Victoria Conservatory of Music and Camosun College, I have completed both a Bachelor of Music at the University of Ottawa and a Master of Music in Composition at the University of British Columbia.

I am thrilled to have had pieces programmed by the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, Symphony New Brunswick, the North/South Chamber Orchestra (New York, NY), the Sidney Classical Orchestra (Sidney, BC), the Elysian Trio, and the High Notes Flute Choir. In addition, I have completed commissioned works for the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts, the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery, the Kamloops Art Gallery, and the Elysian Trio. A recipient of a Musician's Travel Grant from the Canada Council for the Arts, I have also received scholarships from the British Columbia Arts Council, UBC, uOttawa, and the Victoria Conservatory of Music.

In particular, I have a love for acoustic music in the classical tradition from solo through chamber to the full orchestra.
I am continuously expanding my skill-set as a composer, musician, and educator in and around this wondrous realm
and have the ultimate goal of touching and enriching lives with the services of music.

Browse at your leisure and feel free to contact me if you have any questions! I will update this site regularly.
