Masters + Mistresses of Music
Just a quick note to announce that I am now officially the holder of a Masters Degree in Music from the Royal College of Music, London! Now, steady on into the big wide working world again :) Some exciting projects in the pipeline. Also, have a looksie at the showreel tab for some shiny new library music tracks. Some concert hall composition on the go as well currently - a new song for mezzo-soprano and piano.

Collaborators Say:
- "I worked with Laura when she provided the score for English National Ballet’s Dance Journeys: "Unsilenced" project in 2016, admirably fulfilling a complex brief to compose a large-scale dance piece for a chamber orchestra. She was extremely positive at all points along the process, and her enthusiasm was a great boost to both choreographers and musicians. The score was a colourful and expressive delight, with so much memorable music packed into it, and it was immensely rewarding to conduct and perform."
- Gavin Sutherland, Music Director and Principal Conductor, English National Ballet - "Laura was a dream to collaborate with!"
- Maxim Northover, Central St Martin's Animation Department (in conjunction with the Royal Shakespeare Company) on 'Prospero and Ariel' - "Working with Laura on the music was a delight. She got the right feel for the film immediately and was positive and responsive to feedback. The entire process was seamless. I do hope we can work together again."
