Lara Somogyi is an innovative harpist notable for her contemporary blend of classical technique and modern technology in her music. With an adventurous approach to the traditionally classical instrument, Lara has carved out a distinctive niche within the music world. Her sound is characterized by an inventive use of electronic effects pedals and loops that transform the harp into a versatile component of the 21st-century musical lexicon.

In her most recent releases, including reinterpretations like "Running Up That Hill" and inventive tracks such as "basis (Kinnship remix)" and "! (expansion)," Lara showcases her ability to expand the textural and dynamic range of the harp. Her compositions frequently feature orchestral expansions, as heard in "hundred00 (orchestral expansion)" and "acceptances (orchestral expansion)," demonstrating a willingness to marry the lushness of an orchestra with the intimacy of solo harp performance. Lara Somogyi’s unique approach and exploration of her instrument's capabilities resonate with listeners who appreciate the intersection of classical instrumentation and forward-thinking music production.
