Laura Snowden

Described by Acoustic Guitar Magazine as possessing ‘multi-dimensional gifts, imagination and fearless artistic sensibility’, Laura’s eclectic musical output has ranged from playing guitar solos on Lorne Balfe's soundtrack for Marvel film Black Widow to performing Lisa Streich’s guitar concerto with the BBC Symphony Orchestra. Laura studied with Julian Bream, during which time she gave two concerts at Wigmore Hall featuring premieres of his newest commissions. This led to international recognition and festival debuts across Europe and the US, as well as a concerto recording with Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin.

Her music has been commissioned by Birmingham Symphony Hall, International Guitar Foundation, New York Guitar Festival, and by syllabuses including RSL (Rockschool), LCME and ABRSM. As a songwriter and performer with folk group Tir Eolas, her shows with the band have included Cambridge Folk Festival, Bestival, and Shakespeare’s Globe at the invitation of guitarist John Williams.
