About

I am Andre Leonard, a dynamic and award-winning conductor, composer, and pianist with an international footprint in classical, gospel, and contemporary music. As Associate Conductor of the Abington Choral Society and the first conductor to introduce orchestral drum & bass to the United States (as featured in UKF, London), I bridge European bass culture with American orchestral tradition.

My work ranges from directing worship arts programs and leading school and university productions to conducting at the Kennedy Center and collaborating with renowned artists. I love guiding diverse ensembles, developing new repertoire, and creating performances that inspire communities. I’m ready to bring energy, artistry, and leadership to new projects.
