About Lara

Cellist based in Edinburgh. Happy to do any gig requiring a cello!

Cellist

Edinburgh

Having attended Junior Trinity as well as now studying music at the University of Edinburgh, performance has been a fundamental part of my life to this point. I am versatile in genres; for example, I enjoy arranging more modern songs for cello, from Bohemian Rhapsody to Dancing in the Dark. Upon request, I am able to record a custom backing track of any song to then play to. My background is mostly classical, and therefore I am able to do this at request, including both chamber music and solo repertoire. Available for weddings, funerals, or any gig that needs the addition of a cello!

Worked with Lara arranging and performing Just by Radiohead for cello, guitar and voice. Was a great experience and definitely recommend her!

5 out of 5

Lara was a joy to work with. She arranged a beautiful cello part for a song I was working on and spent time with me in the studio perfecting it. I will definitely use her again. Absolute legend!
