Laura's story

The instrument came first. The way of caring for events followed.

Laura's connection to the harp began when she first heard the rolling chords in Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake. That early fascination grew into formal study, performance, and years of bringing live music into moments that matter deeply to the people in the room.

She graduated from Oakland University with a Bachelor of Music degree and later studied in Switzerland and France with acclaimed harpists including Isabelle Moretti, Skaila Kanga, and Emmanuel Ceysson.
