Lara Somogyi is a Los Angeles-based harpist and contemporary classical performer-composer. Known for her work with electronics and pedal fx her work is focused on forging a new artistic identity for the harp. A Juno nominee and artist who pushes the boundaries of her instrument, Somogyi approaches the harp as a vehicle for exploration rather than tradition. Having classical roots from the Royal Academy of Music and awarded an honorary Associate (ARAM) for her innovations in her field, she transverses sonic worlds. Her work spans film, television and collaborative composition, including collaborations with Bonobo, Ólafur Arnalds, the London Symphony Orchestra, and Bat For Lashes, and credits on Spike Lee’s Oscar-nominated Da 5 Bloods, Hans Zimmer’s Blue Planet II featuring Radiohead, and Ari Aster’s Eddington for A24.
