LeeAnne Campos began her professional music career at the age of seven in Munich, Germany,
playing the role of a Siamese boy in a production of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s The King and I.
A past regional finalist in the Metropolitan Opera Council Auditions and the San Francisco
Merola Opera Program Auditions, her repertoire included the roles of Despina in Cosi fan tutte,
Mimi in La Boheme, and Nedda in I Pagliacci. An apprenticeship with the Chicago Lyric Opera
Center for American Artists took her to Chicago in 1983. She was an active participant in the
Chicago opera community, performing leading roles with the Chamber Opera of Chicago and
Light Opera Works among others. She was a member of both the Chicago Lyric Opera Chorus
and the Chicago Symphony Chorus under the direction of Margaret Hillis, and a recipient of the
Margaret Hillis Fellowship.
 
Shortly after her return to the Pacific Northwest she made her debut with Tacoma Opera as
Pamina in The Magic Flute. She has since served as guest soloist with Symphony Tacoma, 
Symphony Tacoma Voices, the Bremerton Symphony Orchestra, the Okanogan Symphony
Orchestra, and others. Equally comfortable with musical theater, she enjoyed the role of Mother
Abbess in Tacoma Little Theatre’s 1998 production of The Sound of Music.
 
In the fall of 2001 Ms. Campos founded Lyrica, Ladies Choral Ensemble of Puget Sound. Lyrica
was a non-profit, community-based choir that offered women of all ages the opportunity for
personal musical growth through fun, informative rehearsals and exciting concert programs. Due
to the pandemic, Lyrica disbanded in January 2024.
 
Ms. Campos served at St. Gabriel Roman Catholic Church in Port Orchard as a cantor and music
director for twenty-nine years, leaving the position in June 2022. She has been the director of the

since 1992 and is active as an adjudicator for regional and state vocal competitions throughout
the Northwest. She and her two children share a love of visual arts; her hobbies include
