Classical Vocalist

Laura holds a Bachelor of Music Degree from Manhattan School of Music and a Master's Degree and Performer's Diploma from Indiana University.

Laura has performed with the Janiec Opera Co., Detour Theater Company, The Remarkable Theater Brigade, and the Bay Area Summer Opera Theater Institute. Her past roles include Cunegonde (Candide), The Sandman (Too Many Sopranos), Papagena (The Magic Flute), Frasquita (Carmen), and Amor (Gluck’s Orfeo). She has been soprano soloist for Britten's Rejoice in the Lamb, Festival Te Deum, and Ceremony of Carols, as well as Bernstein's Chichester Psalms.

Laura is passionate about promoting new music, and during her studies at IU she was described as a “mainstay of the composition department", having premiered a multitude of faculty and student works, some composed specifically for her. Laura has been featured in concerts at the Galapagos Art Space and Cornelia Street Café.

Not only a vocal soloist, Laura has been lucky to perform with many NYC and Westchester-based vocal ensembles. She has been a member of Angelica, Take4, and Inspire: A Choir for Unity. In fall 2021 Laura joined Charis Chamber Voices.

Cabaret &
Musical Theater

In 2018, to mark the 5-year anniversary of her stage-3 breast cancer diagnosis, Laura wrote and performed a solo cabaret: Turning Back Time: an intimate cabaret chronicling life’s twist and turns from conservatory to cancer and beyond.

Her cabaret was so well received that she wrote and performed a second show in 2019: All in a Day's Work: A Cabaret of Career Confessions.

Laura’s cabarets showcase music from a wide variety of musical theater composers such as Rodgers & Hammerstein, Leonard Bernstein, Kander & Ebb, Stephen Sondheim, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Stephen Schwartz, and up-and-coming composers such as Rachel J. Peters & Michael R. Jackson.

Laura’s honest performances captivate audiences, bringing them to both laughter and tears as they relate her experiences to their own life stories.

Laura is thrilled to partner with accompanist Mark C. Mitchell, who has been the music director, conductor and/or pianist for well over 50 Broadway, off-Broadway, national tour and regional productions.

Church Musician

Laura has been an active church musician for over twenty years. She has served as cantor, section leader, and soloist for churches across the United States. While Laura has sung for many different denominations, she specializes in providing music for the Catholic liturgy.

Laura currently cantors at her home church, Holy Name of Mary, in Croton-on-Hudson, NY, and subs as a cantor and soloist throughout Westchester County, NY.

Laura was a volunteer cantor at St. Patrick's Cathedral on Fifth Avenue for over a decade, singing as a soloist weekly to lead sung music at daily mass.

Laura loves working hand-in-hand with people to musically enhance their most important life moments - whether via a stunning soprano solo for a wedding communion, or an uplifting and poignant hymn at a funeral mass.
