Lawrence Power is internationally acclaimed as one of the foremost violists of his time. His virtuosic performances and profound musicianship have made him a sought-after soloist on the global music scene. Born in England, Power's extensive training honed his talents to a fine edge, leading to a flourishing career that has included performances with some of the world's leading orchestras and conductors.

Distinctive in his broad exploration of the viola's capabilities, Power's discography reflects an impressive diversity of periods and styles. His recent releases cover a vast landscape of compositions, from the lush Romantic works found on "Fin de siècle: Late Romantic Music for Viola & Piano" to the modernist tones of "MacMillan: Symphony No. 4 & Viola Concerto." Power is also known for his dedication to bringing less commonly performed pieces to light, as demonstrated in his recordings of "Veress: String Trio - Bartók: Piano Quintet" and "Arthur Benjamin: Violin Sonatina & Viola Sonata", shining a spotlight on the rich, textured repertoire available for viola. Whether navigating the intricate passages of "Shostakovich: Viola Sonata; Pieces from The Gadfly; 7 Preludes, Op. 34" or evoking the pastoral scenes of "Vaughan Williams: Flos Campi & Suite; McEwen: Viola Concerto," Lawrence Power communicates with a depth of expression that has established him as a unique voice for his instrument.
