The hugely popular Yorkshire-born soprano in a programme of classical favourites and some more recent songs, accompanied by the National Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Philip Ellis. As a soloist, Lesley Garett’s 12 solo CDs have brought great success, including the Gramophone Award for ‘Best-Selling Classical Artist of the Year’ for ‘Soprano in Red’. ‘A Soprano Inspired’ and ‘Lesley Garrett’ both achieved platinum status. Recent albums include ‘So Deep is the Night’, the music from which was made into a film entitled ‘Lesley Garrett-Desert Dreams’.
Lesley’s television history includes the BBC’s ‘Lesley Garrett…Tonight’, which evolved as ‘The Lesley Garrett Show’, featuring a variety of celebrity musical artists. She was a semi-finalist for the BBC’s hit show ‘Strictly Come Dancing’, and a judge for BBC’s ‘Comic Relief Does Fame Academy.’
