   About Edward Lein
Edward Lein (b.1955) lives in Jacksonville, Florida, and holds Master's degrees in Music (major professor: John Boda) and Library Science from Florida State University. As a tenor soloist (now retired) he has appeared in recitals, oratorios and dramatic works throughout his home state, and drawing on his performance experience the majority of his earliest compositions were vocal works. Following the premieres by the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra of his Meditation, for Cello, Oboe and Orchestra (June 2006), and In the Bleak Midwinter (December 2007) his instrumental catalog has grown, largely due to requests from Symphony players for new pieces. He endeavors to imbue his instumental pieces with a singing lyricism similar to that of his vocal works.

By day, Ed is Music Librarian for the City of Jacksonville and was the driving force behind the monthly Intermezzo Sunday Concerts series at Jacksonville's Main Library from March 2006 through June 2008. The Sunday concerts, which featured prominent musicians from the greater Jacksonville area, proved to be the best-attended series of adult programs in the history of Jacksonville Public Library, and Ed is now directing efforts toward developing midweek Music@Main evening concerts.
