Born in Montréal, LESLIE UYEDA (she/her) is a composer, pianist, and conductor. During 25 years in opera, she has worked as a coach, pianist, chorus music director and conductor. Leslie has composed over fifty songs to the gorgeous and powerful poetry of Canadian poet Lorna Crozier, and four song cycles to the poignant and delicate words of Joy Kogawa.

An Associate Composer of the Canadian Music Centre, Leslie is a member of SOCAN, the Canadian League of Composers, and the Association of Canadian Women Composers.

Leslie was commissioned to write a piece (“Incantation”) for the Opera “THE LAKE”.

The Lake / nx?a?x?a?itkw, is the first Canadian opera shot specifically as a film and features Westbank First Nation elder and artist Delphine Derickson, and Canadian soprano Heather Pawsey. The inspiring music documentary—with Vancouver director John Bolton (Aim For The Roses) at the helm—follows the extraordinary friendship between these two singers and teachers that blossomed when they first met in 2012, and the ground-breaking two-year cross-cultural collaboration that ensued as they transformed The Lake, a historic opera written in 1952 by noted Canadian composer Barbara Pentland.

The TELUS original documentary feature The Lake / nx?a?x?a?itk? is available to audiences across Canada free on demand on TELUS Optik TV Channel 8 and online at watch.telusoriginals.com worldwide. You can reach Leslie at www.leslieuyeda.com
