The Rolling Stones helped her get into England's prestigious Menuhin School, where she was its first graduate in guitar. Classical Guitar Magazine has called her "Classical guitar's new champion," and she has herself been championed by Julian Bream. Her creative range has encompassed collaborations with leading contemporary composers and the occasional pop star.
Hailed a 'string sensation' by BBC Music Magazine, British-French guitarist and composer Laura Snowden is acclaimed for her 'poise and intensity' (Guardian) and playing of 'extraordinary depth' (Strings, Classical Music Magazine).
Laura studied with Julian Bream, during which time she gave two concerts at Wigmore Hall featuring premieres of his recent commissions. This led to international recognition and festival debuts across Europe, China and the US, as well as concerto debuts with Norrkoping Symphony Orchestra and Munchener Kammerorchester, and a recording of Lisa Streich's guitar concerto Augenlider with the Deutsches Symphonie Orchester.
As a composer, Laura's music has been performed at Royal Albert Hall, Wigmore Hall and Sadlers Wells, commissioned by the Park Lane Group, Birmingham Symphony Hall and International Guitar Foundation, and broadcast on BBC Radio 3, BBC Radio Scotland and Hong Kong Radio 4.
