Leslie and Erica’s performances have taken them from Edmonton to Montreal, including a recital on Music Toronto’s renowned chamber music series at the Jane Mallett Theatre. Critics have praised their performances of Mozart’s Concerto for Flute and Harp with the Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra:

“Their cohesion and almost telepathic empathy melded into what was a utter delight…Enthralled and mesmerized are descriptions that come immediately to mind.”

– Ontario Arts Review

and with the Montreal Chamber Orchestra:

“Both very elegant and responding smoothly to each other as two musicians having long played together, they dominated the stage…overshadowing everything around them…”

– Claude Gingras, La Presse, Montreal)

“To play as powerfully, as sensitively and as flawlessly as flutist Leslie Newman did…is to write the book on stamina and musical excellence. Bottom line: one of the highlights of the season.” This is how critics have described Leslie who, since her Toronto Symphony Orchestra debut at the age of eighteen, performing Carl Nielsen’s formidable Flute Concerto under the baton of Sir Andrew Davis, has developed a loyal audience with her lyricism, technical command and musical integrity.
