Raised on Bach and Brahms, now heavily tattooed, unruly artist Leah Plave embraces not only classical but contemporary, electronic, non-western, and experimental music. She frequently collaborates with living composers and seeks interdisciplinary, cross-cultural projects. A four-time immigrant by the age of 24, Leah has lived and toured extensively across North America, China, and Europe.

Leah is based in the Netherlands, where her love for both traditional and non-traditional canon have seen her performing in spaces ranging from posh concert halls to deconstructed airplanes and candlelit living rooms. She concertizes regularly with acoustic and electronic ensembles such as Pi String Quartet, B.O.X Ensemble, Spaceship Ensemble, London Film Orchestra, Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century, Vratsa Symphony Orchestra, Lincoln Center Stage Piano Quintet, and many more. Other notable collaborators include performers and composers such as Armin van Buuren, Bent Van Looy, Dan Sato, Geronimo Snijtsheuvel, Zosha Di Castri, Cris Derksen, David Braid, Kelly-Marie Murphy, Alice Ping Yee Ho, Michael Harrison, and Amy Brandon.

She can be heard at festivals such as Rewire, November Music, De Link, Angelica Festival Internazionale di Musica, Birds of Paradise, Vers Vuur, The Banff Centre, and more. Leah is also an outspoken advocate for inclusive programming, and before an untimely deportation from Canada, served as Artistic Director and cellist of the Montréal Music Collective- an ensemble dedicated to this practice.

Leah refuses to participate in social media- a controversial career move which often makes her vulnerable to the unsolicited advice of men on trains. Nevertheless, she gladly spends her real life consuming literature, hiking, weight-lifting, and cultivating relationships with local farm animals.
