Laura Boon is a student at the Queensland Conservatorium completing a Bachelor of Music (Honours) majoring in performance on Cello. Having previously studied under Gwyn Roberts, she now learns from Hungarian cellist György Deri and Hyung Suk Bae, Principal Cellist of the Queensland Symphony Orchestra. In 2025, she served as Associate Principal Cellist of the Queensland Youth Symphony. Throughout her previous four years in the orchestra, Laura enjoyed collaborating with like-minded musicians in impassioned orchestral projects with a standout of her time being the 2023 tour to Singapore, Austria, and Germany where the orchestra was privileged to perform in renowned venues including the Musikverein in Vienna.

At the Queensland Conservatorium, Laura participates in additional orchestral projects as well as chamber music performances, exploring a broad range of chamber repertoire with her colleagues. She has gained valuable experience while performing with professional ensembles such as the Australian String Quartet, LA Philharmonic Wind Quintet, Ensemble Q, and the Queensland Symphony Orchestra. Outside of classical performance, Laura values using music to connect with the community through private teaching and supporting local events such as art exhibitions, church performances, and nursing home visits. She also has a love for musical theatre and enjoys working as a pit musician in a variety of musical theatre productions.

Looking ahead, Laura is excited to continue a diverse performance career exploring a range of musical genres as a soloist, chamber musician and orchestral performer.
