Overview

My name is Lara and I want to play for your special event to make it even more special.✨ I have been playing for over 25 years and have an absolute passion for and obsession with music. As it is a gift from the divine, I do my best to showcase that. As Bach once said, "[All music] should have no other end and aim than the glory of God and the recreation of the soul; where this is not kept in mind there is no true music, but only an infernal clamour and ranting."

An amazing experience

Lara was everything you could ask for in a hired musician - communicative, flexible, prepared, prompt and super talented. She played beautifully at my father's funeral with a violinist and vocalist (hired separately, but you'd never know it, there was an instant chemistry). Lara went above and beyond to review the music ahead of time, caught some errors in the music I sent (so thankful!) and took the lead on making sure the trio was rock solid. I highly recommend and will be looking for opportunities to use her again.

She did a great job!

We contacted Lara at the last minute to play the piano at our church launch and to perform with a singer who had also been recently hired. Lara gave us great song suggestions, stayed up late to work with the singer, was open to any last minute changes, and was very professional overall. On the date of the launch, she arrived early, quickly set up, and played beautifully. She more than surpassed our expectations. In addition, she has a great personality and we plan to work with her again.
