Lara is known for the lyric quality of her playing and her versatility in styles. She is equally at home playing Beethoven one night and Journey the next. "Lara Garner lit up the stage each time she told her audience a story, each time her virtuosic fingers found tone and light on piano, harp, whistle and bodhran, each time she smiled while playing music that she loves."------Jean's Magazines, April 2009 With a degree in music from U.C.
