Lauren Sonder is a composer and performer living and working in Oklahoma. Her music draws on both pop and classical aesthetics, which she combines in ways that have been described as resonant, layered, and hopeful. Her warm, pared down sound invites listeners to connect with the present moment and relax into dreamy musical worlds.

Lauren has performed at the University of Oklahoma, the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art, Opolis, and other local venues. She enjoys collaboration and has worked with visual artists, dancers, and most recently flow artist Sarah Abear. Her compositions have been performed at the Oklahoma Contemporary Dance Festival, the Summer Burklyn Ballet Theatre, and the Oklahoma Composers Salon Concert series.

Lauren has a Bachelor’s Degree in music from the New England Conservatory of Music and a Master’s Degree in music from the University of Oklahoma. Lauren formerly sat on the boards of the Oklahoma Composers Association and the Norman Arts Council. She works as a teaching artist in her home piano studio.
