Leah Coloff is a cellist, singer/songwriter and composer described by The New York Times as “a combination of artful angularity and a rock-inflected assertiveness.” Raised in the Pacific Northwest, her classical roots collide with 70’s rock and a pioneer spirit creating songs and arrangements that are honest, sensual, funny, brutal, pissed-off, beautiful and chilly sweet. Credits include cello chair for Oklahoma! On Broadway, the premieres of Ridge Theater’s Lightning At Our Feet as cellist/singer/performer and Beth Morrison Productions and Ted Hearne’s The Source, as cellist. Recent discography: The Source (New Amsterdam), selected best classical recordings of 2015 by The New York Times and The New Yorker, Outlanders (New Amsterdam) and ThisTree (searchingeye) the album inspiring her multimedia autobiographical song cycle weaving song, idyllic childhood memories, unanswered questions and a roller coaster ride of fertility treatments which premiered in the 2019 Prototype Festival.
