Canadian-born violinist Lara St. John has been described as "something of a phenomenon" by The Strad and a “high-powered soloist” by the New York Times.
She has performed as soloist with the orchestras of Cleveland, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle, the Boston Pops, Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, the Royal Philharmonic, NDR Symphony, Zurich Chamber Orchestra, Ensemble Orchestral de Paris and and many others.
Lara St. John is a Canadian violinist with formal training at the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia and the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow. She has released a string of successful albums, predominantly of Bach, but has suffered criticism from the world’s media for posing nude on two of three album covers. However, the controversy surrounding her career has not undermined her ability as a musician and Lara continues to astound audiences with her superb technique and irresistible vitality.
“Lara St. John happens to be a volcanic violinist with a huge, fabulous tone that pours out of her like molten lava. She has technique to burn and plays at a constant high heat.” - LA TIMES
