Laura Olson resides in Clovis, California and works as an educator, stringed instrument specialist, and as a composer. She has an M.A. in Ethnomusicology specializing in Irish Traditional Music and plays harp and fiddle currently with the local musicians in Fresno. She has served as a guest lecturer on Irish culture and music and has performance experience on cello with the Stockton Symphony and Fresno Philharmonic as well as local community orchestras. She also has a very small private studio of cello, fiddle, and harp students. Her symphonic experience is evident in the style of her compositions, most recently Border Guardians of Ackernon (TV Pilot). Her recently released CD "Mossflower Country" is based on the Redwall series of books and the large scale orchestrations and choir are as good as anything you might hear in a big-budget movie. There are also smaller more intimate solos and lots of electronic sounds giving her music an ambient or "new age" styling. Many of the tracks have some environmental sounds mixed in to enhance visual picture. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Laura+Olson">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
