Laura Giannini, an Italian violinist, recording artist, and music educator based in New York City, began her career at age 19 when she was selected by violinist Uto Ughi to perform with his Festival Omaggio a Roma Orchestra as a featured soloist in the Vivaldi Concerto RV 581 in C Major. From 2005 to 2006, she appeared with the Orchestra Philharmonia Mediterranea performing the Bach Double and Mendelssohn Violin Concerto.

An award winner in duo and piano trio competitions throughout Europe, Laura collaborated there with Accademia dei Cameristi, A.Gi.Mus. Roma, Musica a Piazza Navona, and Deutscher Tonkünstlerverband, among others. Her playing was featured in the Ensemble Mediterranée’s world-premiere recording of Raffaele Gervasio’s compositions in a CD produced by DAD Records in 2006 and on Deutschland Radio Kultur during the Kammerensemble Nordwind live broadcast of Schönberg’s Pierrot Lunaire, as well as more recently on the WVOX radio in a musical interview about South-Italian composers.

Influenced by mentors such as Felix Ayo, Mark Gothoni, Katrin Scholz, Shmuel Ashkenasi, and Daniel Phillips, Laura is deeply engaged in chamber music. She collaborates with Semplice Players at Bargemusic, Kollective366, The Queens Consort and Ensemble Leonarda, and has performed alongside artists like Mark Peskanov, Alexander Fiterstein, Nina Kogan, and Doris Stevenson. In duo and ensembles, she has performed at renowned venues across Europe, Asia, and the United States, including Carnegie Hall, The National Opera Center, Shinmin Art Center, Yuanlin Performance Hall, Die Glocke, Temple du Foyer de l’Âme, and Auditorium Parco della Musica. Laura has been a founding member of the OLLA Rhapsody, violin duo, and the QueensSound Ensemble. She has taught in Italy, Germany, and New York for the past twenty years. Her most recent teaching engagements include work as a teaching artist for YOSL – the Orchestra of St. Luke’s educational program in New York City.
