We're back after lockdown with the Young Performer Summer Series! This week, we have a special pre-recorded performance by violinist Leanne McGowan, who came third on Season 2 of The Talent 2019. Leanne, with pianist Alex Raineri, performed a wonderful variety of works, from Mozart to Suk.

Leanne McGowan is 19 years old and currently completing her Bachelor of Music at the Colburn Conservatory of Music with Professor Robert Lipsett. She has previously studied with Spiros Rantos, Yuri Djachenko and Dr Robin Wilson at the Australian National Academy of Music.

Leanne has performed as a soloist with the Queensland Symphony Orchestra, Queensland Youth Symphony, the Northern Rivers Symphony Orchestra, Preston Symphony Orchestra and South Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.

In 2020 she was a finalist in the MRC Great Romantics Competition, performed as a soloist on the Melbourne Digital Concert Hall and was awarded the ANAM Directors’ Prize. She was winner of the QSO 2017 Young Instrumentalists Prize, and in 2019 a semi-finalist in the Gisborne International Music Competition where she was awarded the “Most Promising Player Award,” and a semi-finalist in the ANAM concerto competition. Leanne is also an Australian Chamber Orchestra Emerging Artist in 2020/21.
