Laura Liu, a native of Miami, Florida, currently lives in New York City and studies with Cynthia Phelps and Misha Amory at The Juilliard School. For her recent performance at the Olympic Music Festival, Liu was hailed by Classical Voice America as a “standout” with “sound deep, warm, and consistently musical.” Liu’s ardent love of musical collaboration and conversation has led her to pursue a rich life in chamber music. In June of 2025, Liu will appear at Marlboro Music Festival. Liu debuted as a Rising Star at Sunkiss’d Mozart Summerfest, and collaborated with musicians Gidon Kremer, Antje Weithaas, and Gary Hoffman as a Junior Artist at Kronberg Academy’s “Chamber Music Connects the World.” Previously, Liu has participated in the Chamber Music Society of Palm Beach’s “Rising Artist” Program, the Olympic Music Festival Fellowship, Music@Menlo’s International Performer Program, the Perlman Music Program’s Chamber Music Workshop, the Taos School of Music, Kneisel Hall, Music Academy of the West, and the Heifetz International Music Institute. Highlights from past seasons include performing with her quartet, Quatuor Cael, in Alice Tully Hall and Peter Jay Sharp as a member of The Juilliard Honors Chamber Music program, collaborating alongside the Frisson Ensemble, appearing at Santa Fe ProMusica, and making her Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center debut in both their “Meet the Music!” and “Inside Chamber Music” series. This coming fall she will return to CMS for another “Meet the Music!” concert, go back to Music@Menlo for an alumni concert, and reappear with Jupiter Symphony Chamber Players.
