French-born musician Laure Struber started playing the piano at the age of 3. A few years later she entered the Strasbourg Conservatory of Music Preparatory Division, and performed regularly in France and Germany throughout her childhood. She came to the United States for the first time when she was 20, through an exchange program between Strasbourg University and Syracuse University, and continued her studies as a Fulbright scholar at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, earning a Master in Piano Performance. She settled in Seattle in 2014, where she earned her Doctorate of Musical Arts in Piano Performance at the University of Washington.

In the past decade, Laure has performed widely throughout Europe and in the United States as a soloist, chamber musician, and keyboardist for ensembles such at the Strasbourg Philharmonic Orchestra, Pacific Northwest Ballet, Inverted Space, Harry Partch, and the Seattle Philharmonic Orchestra. She has received numerous awards, including a France-Fulbright alumni distinction and a Soroptimist Prize, and was the winner of the University of Washington Concerto Competition for her performance of Chopin E minor Concerto. 

Dr. Struber is also a dedicated music educator and has taught for more than a decade in France and in the United States. Determined to bring music to everyone, she created workshops for children with learning difficulties and disadvantaged social backgrounds. She currently teaches in her own piano studio, works for Pacific Northwest Ballet as a rehearsal pianist, and performs regularly both in solo and chamber music concerts.

Laure currently lives in West Seattle with her husband Spencer, her baby girl Charlotte, and her golden retriever Bennie.
