In addition to Yarn/Wire, Laura performs frequently with contemporary music groups such as the San Francisco Contemporary Music Players, Argento Chamber Ensemble, skogensemble, Wet Ink Ensemble and Lost Dog New Music.
Laura has premiered numerous works by composers from around the world, and has been fortunate to work directly with composers such as Philippe Leroux, Augusta Read-Thomas, Yan Maresz, Dai Fujikura, Alexandra Dubois, David Lang, Michael Gordon, and Terry Riley.
