2022 brachte Laura Zarina das Kunstvideo mit der längsten Fuge für Violine solo (C-Dur) von J. S. Bach auf Youtube heraus. Auf experimentelle Weise übernahm Laura Zarina den Geigenpart und sang selbst die von Prof. Helga Thoene entdeckten diversen Choräle in vier Stimmen ein.
2019 veröffentlichte Laura Zarina das Violinkonzert des lettisch- kanadischen Komponisten Janis Kalnins (1904-2000) bei Canadian Music Centre.
