Biography
Composer, vocalist and instrumentalist Laura Intravia is internationally renowned for her multi-faceted musical career in opera, concert music and video game/film soundtracks.
A flutist and coloratura soprano with "bright ping," Laura's work as a remote session musician has appeared in over 35 video game and film soundtracks. Her classical, jazz and world flute techniques can be heard in games such as Mages of Mystralia, Otomedius Excellent, Tin Hearts and Cornerstone: Song of Tyrim. Her versatility in various vocal styles has lead to an equally wide range of recording projects; from the classic soprano sound of Destiny, Destiny 2, and ReCore; to pop-inspired belting in Code Vein, Tekken Tag Tournament 2 and Erica; to genre-bending, world music vocals in Darksiders 3 and Mortal Kombat 11. In addition to her studio choir work on projects such as God Eater 3 and The iDOLM@STER - Cinderella Master, Laura is well-versed in the techniques of vocal multi-tracking, emulating the effect of children' choir in projects such as Kaladin, Buttons and Super Lucky's Tale.
Equally at home on the concert stage, Laura has taken her voice, classical flute, world flutes and Electronic Wind Instrument across the globe on the Video Games Live international concert tour. Appearing as a principal soloist since 2009, Laura has performed with over 40 orchestras worldwide, including the Pittsburgh Symphony, Utah Symphony, Houston Symphony Orchestra, Colorado Symphony, Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra, Orquesta Nacional de España, Polish National Radio Symphony, U.A.E. National Symphony and the Qatar Philharmonic. She made her debuts at the Palais des Congrès in Paris in 2009, Wolf Trap in Virginia in 2013, and Konzerthaus in Vienna in 2016. She has also performed as a guest soloist with the Pokemon: Symphonic Evolutions world tour, making her Madison Square Garden debut with the show in 2015.
As a composer, Laura has won several awards for her original works, including the Jack Downey Vocal Composition Prize and 2nd place in the New York Treble Singers Composition Competition. An avid arranger, Laura's solo piano arrangements of Austin Wintory's Grammy-nominated score Journey were published by Alfred Music in 2013. Laura has arranged and orchestrated several pieces on the Video Games Live album series, and has released two solo piano video game arrangement albums, Through Time and Space and Shall We Play?. Laura made her video game debut in 2018 by composing additional music for the indie point-and-click adventure Arkhangel: House of the Seven Stars, as well as co-writing the game's end credits song with lead composer Chad Seiter.
Born and raised on Long Island, Laura holds degrees in Composition and Vocal Performance from Ithaca College, where she was awarded the Philip J. Lang Composition Scholarship and Hockett Composition Scholarship.
