Raised on Bach and Brahms, now heavily tattooed and 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, she 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, Bitter Blossoms, London Film Orchestra, Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century, Vratsa Symphony Orchestra, Lincoln Center Stage Piano Quintet, and many more. Other recent collaborators include Armin van Buuren, Bent Van Looy, Joey Roukens, India Gailey, Tong Wang, Zosha Di Castri, Cris Derksen, Kelly-Marie Murphy, David Braid, Alice Ping Yee Ho, and Amy Brandon.

Leah is often 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. She is 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. As a member of Pi Quartet, she performs music exclusively by living composers from all over the world.

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 very real life consuming literature, hiking, weight-lifting, and cultivating relationships with local farm animals.
