Canadian-born violinist Lara St. John has been described as “something of a phenomenon” by The Strad and a “high-powered soloist” by The New York Times. Lara has performed with orchestras on five continents and in recitals around the world. She formed her own record label, Ancalagon Records, in 1999, and has recorded with orchestras including the Simon Bolivar Youth Orchestra of Venezuela. Her release, “Bach: The Six Sonatas and Partitas for Violin Solo,” in 2007 was the best-selling double album on iTunes, and her recording, featuring two world-premiere, 21st-century concertos with the Royal Philharmonic, had Gramophone saying “it’s the sort of work that should get audiences running, not walking, back to concert halls.”
