International Concert Series 2023-24

Described by Classical Guitar Magazine as ‘linking guitar’s past, present and future’, Laura Snowden’s eclectic musical output has ranged from playing on Lorne Balfe's soundtrack for Marvel film Black Widow to recording Lisa Streich’s guitar concerto Augenlider with the Deutsches Symphonie Orchester Berlin.

Laura's eclectic repertoire comprises classical, folk and contemporary music, with storytelling at its heart. We welcome her to Royal Holloway for a programme that will feature a selection of classical works for guitar, alongside her own evocative compositions, unique vocalisations and Celtic folk arrangements.
This event is presented as part of Royal Holloway's International Concert Series 2023-24. 

About the performer 

Described by Classical Guitar Magazine as ‘linking guitar’s past, present and future’, Laura Snowden’s eclectic musical output has ranged from playing on Lorne Balfe's soundtrack for Marvel film Black Widow to recording Lisa Streich’s guitar concerto Augenlider with the Deutsches Symphonie Orchester Berlin. Whilst a student at the RCM, Laura was selected for the Julian Bream Trust and subsequently studied with Julian for a number of years. She gave two concerts at Wigmore Hall for the Trust, featuring premieres of Julian’s new commissions by Olli Mustonen and Julian Anderson. This led to international recognition and festival debuts across Europe and the US, as well as concerto debuts with Norrköping Symphony Orchestra and Münchener Kammerorchester.
