Since the summer 2003, Laura Andriani is the first violin of the Alcan Quartet.

Laura Andriani’s performance of the Tchaikovsky Concerto was lyrical and poetic. Although her playing reminded the listener that she hails from Italy — where lyricism in violin playing remains highly cherished and cultivated — she is an individual, with a manner of expression uniquely her own. Andriani’ s originality and affinity for the new was recognized in 1997 for her performance of Luciano Berio’ s Sequenza VIII at the Premio Nicolò Paganini International Violin Competition in Genoa. Throughout this competition, Andriani again made it clear that she does not merely re-iterate the precepts of old traditions. The sense of individuality and newness that infuses her artistry makes her worth watching and listening to. — La Scena Musicale, 2003, 5 June (Critique by Piotr Gawek and Mary Katharine Wallbridge-Gawek)
