Laura Zaerr continues to pursue her interest in Celtic music alongside her classical music. She teaches harp and Celtic Ensemble at the University of Oregon, where she obtained her bachelors degree in music performance and composition. She also holds a masters degree in harp performance from the Eastman School of Music.

Over the past 15 years Laura has produced several solo CDs featuring original compositions and arrangements of Celtic tunes as well as recording collaboratively with various musical groups, including The Oregon Renaissance Band, Village Green, and, most recently, Trilogy. She has gained national recognition for her Celtic Concerto, a suite for Celtic harp and orchestra, featuring seven traditional Irish tunes.

Her original and innovative harp arrangements meld a rich heritage of classical technique with the buoyancy and charm of the Celtic style.
