About the Concert

Named one of Classic FM's Rising Stars of 2024, Laura Lootens' critically acclaimed recital programme Diabolico is sweeping across the UK this June.

Gramophone calls it "fearless intensity" - pure theatre, pure drama, exceptional command.

The programme journeys from Paganini's grand bravado through Rodrigo's Spanish lyricism and Rochberg's modern complexity, culminating in the darkly thrilling Capriccio Diabolico. Witness a truly exceptional artist at the height of her powers.

About Laura Lootens

With a sound that commands attention from the first note, Laura Lootens has emerged as one of the most exciting voices of the classical guitar. Her performances fuse fearless virtuosity with an impressive stage presence, centered on a fascination with contrast where tension and release are the lifeblood of music.

The 2025/26 season brings major milestones, including her debut at the prestigious Concertgebouw Amsterdam, the Festspiele Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, as well as three U.S. tours and an Australia tour. She also appears as a soloist with major orchestras including the Hessian State Orchestra Wiesbaden.

Her second album, Diabolico (Naïve, 2025), was selected by Apple Music as one of its "Albums of the Month". The Gramophone praises her "exceptional command of the instrument," highlighting her capacity for pure theatre and drama.

A musical prodigy, Laura began her university studies at just fifteen. After winning First Prize at the 2022 Andrés Segovia International Competition, she joined the faculty of the University of Music and Performing Arts Munich at the age of just twenty-two.
