About Me
Let's Get Acquainted
Laura Leisring, Principal Bassoon of the Virginia Symphony since 2007, can be heard on more than 35 CD recordings on labels such as Deutsche Grammophon, Decca, and Auvidis Valois as Principal with the Tenerife Symphony Orchestra, Canary Islands, Spain 1989-2003, and as Acting Principal of the Milwaukee Symphony 2003/2004. Highly praised for her work by critics in Spain, she has performed with more than 100 world-class artists, and has been a soloist under conductors Yoel Levi, Antoni Wit, Leopold Hager, Guillermo Figueroa, Scott Yoo, Anne Manson, with whom she performed the European Premiere of the Concerto for Bassoon by Pulitzer-Prize-Winning Composer, Ellen Taaffe-Zwilich. She has served as Principal with the Music in the Mountains Festival, Durango, CO. since 2002, where she was a featured soloist in 2007.
In the process of writing a bassoon/music book in 2017, she was advised by a college bassoonist to sideline the music book and expand the book for Humanity. Three of the best pages of the book are downloadable on the Homepage of this website. They are meant to be shared and printed.
The Nature RESET is the key to the entire project. The two-page document gives great insight into the whole of the soon to be published book.
