About

Laura Zariņa ist eine lettische Geigerin mit internationaler Konzerttätigkeit, von Presse und Publikum für ihre „leuchtende Klangschönheit“ und „charaktervolle Intensität“ geschätzt.

Tief in ihrem kulturellen Erbe verwurzelt, veröffentlichte sie Echoes of Latvia (SKANI, 2025) mit Werken lettischer Komponistinnen – viele davon als Ersteinspielungen.

Seit über einem Jahrzehnt bringt sie lettisches Repertoire wieder ans Licht, darunter das lange verschollen geglaubte Violinkonzerts von Jānis Kalniņš (2019 für das Canadian Music Centre (CMC) aufgenommen), und sie gab die Europa-Premiere von Imants Ramiņš’ Violinkonzert (2023), übertragen von Latvijas Radio 3 (Klasika).

Laura Zariņa is an international Latvian violinist, praised by press and audiences for her “radiant tonal beauty” and “distinctive intensity.”


Deeply rooted in her cultural heritage, she released Echoes of Latvia (SKANI, 2025), featuring works by Latvian women composers - many recorded for the first time.

For over a decade she has revived Latvian repertoire, including the long-lost Violin Concerto by Jānis Kalniņš (recorded for the Canadian Music Centre in 2019), and she gave the European premiere of Imants Ramiņš’s Violin Concerto (2023), broadcast by Latvian Radio 3 (Klasika).

Laura Zariņa ir latviešu vijolniece ar starptautisku koncertdarbību, kuru prese un klausītāji ir atzinīgi novērtējuši par viņas “starojošo skaņas skaistumu” un “raksturīgo intensitāti.”

Dziļi sakņota savā kultūras mantojumā, viņa izdevusi albumu Echoes of Latvia (SKANI, 2025), kurā skan latviešu sieviešu komponistu darbi - daudzi no tiem ierakstīti pirmo reizi.

Jau vairāk nekā desmit gadus Zariņa atklāj no jauna latviešu repertuāru, tostarp sen zudušo Jāņa Kalniņa vijoļkoncertu (ierakstīts Canadian Music Centre 2019. gadā), kā arī sniedza Eiropas pirmatskaņojumu Imanta Ramiņa vijoļkoncertam (2023), ko translēja Latvijas Radio 3 “Klasika”.

 

"Echoes of Latvia is beautifully conceived, paced and played: a reminder of Garūta's lyrical gift and the rightful placing of it as a precursor to the women who followed, who also need to be heard."

Education

Mentoring - Sound.Body.Presence.

Music begins before the bow touches the string. In my mentoring we connect your inner listening, your body, and your technique into a clear artistic voice. I help you open the sound, turn tension into projection, and find the calm that makes true presence possible — at auditions, exams, and on stage.

We start by listening closely: what colours live in your tone, how does a phrase breathe, where does energy leak? From there a tailored path emerges. With Body-Scan and simple centre-of-gravity work, movement becomes economical; bow and left hand respond more freely, articulation and line gain contour. In parallel we sharpen the mental side: short, everyday routines for focus and walk-on, realistic mock situations on camera, and a clear debrief. The result is not “more practice” but a precise practice design that actually carries you.

Whether you have an audition in two weeks, an entrance exam in four, or want to reframe your repertoire over twelve months — we meet you where you are. That might be a compact 2-day reset, a 4-week intensive with interim recordings, or a semester-length mentorship where technique, repertoire roadmap, and stage routine grow together.

Sessions are available in German, English, or Latvian - in Frankfurt, online or in masterclasses. 

If you feel there is more in your sound than is currently heard, send me a brief note with your goal, your timeframe, and a 2-minute link. I’ll reply personally and promptly with a proposal for the next steps.
