Laura’s playing has taken her on many tours of Europe and as far as Hong Kong. Closer to home, she has performed at some of the country’s top class venues such as St. David’s Hall, Cardiff Millennium Stadium, Royal Festival Hall and Glyndebourne – concerts include the world premiere of John Tavener’s “Ekstasis” and brand new youth operas “Airheads” (McCrae/Buckler) and “Zoe” (Lunn) – the latter of which was later adapted by Channel 4 television.<br />

As a saxophonist Laura’s work is now predominantly with the Concorde Saxophone Quartet, though she also plays reeds for a number of pit-bands and orchestras. With Cardiff based soul band The Syndicate Laura has performed for high profile charity events held by companies including Sky Sports, Cardiff Institute for the Blind and the British Red Cross.
