Performing
One of the best parts of playing an instrument is sharing it with the world!
Laura’s performance speciality is orchestral harp, and she has worked with numerous orchestras across the state of Victoria. She has been privileged to play under the baton of conductors such as Benjamin Northey, Nigel Westlake, Johannes Fritzsch, Ingrid Martin, Natalia Raspopova, Roy Theaker and Christopher Kopke.
Laura especially loves getting to work with regional or community groups, bringing the magic of the harp to an audience who otherwise might not usually get the chance to experience it.

Event Work
Laura loves any opportunity to play solo! She often plays background music for a wide variety of functions and celebrations - these have ranged from private dinners, to art gallery openings, to kindergarten events!
She also plays for a limited number of weddings each year.
Laura is based in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, and also travels regularly to the Gippsland region. Whatever event you’re planning, she would love to hear from you.
