Laura Cortese is akin to a “sonic magpie,” a curious and resourceful adventurer traversing great distances to collect melodies and rhythms that glitter like jewels in the sun.

Driven by the gravitational pull of human connection, her tendencies toward exploration and collaboration have culminated in her work leading the musicians’ collective known as Laura Cortese & the Dance Cards. Here, she showcases all of her varied experience and expertise—as a master fiddler, instructor, leader, and a musical collaborator—using it to craft a new sound from whole cloth: a nearly symphonic hybrid of countless traditions and influences, full of layered vocal harmonies and rich interplays of virtuosic string instrumentation.
