About
A Chicago native, Tina Laughlin received both her bachelor's and
master's degrees in percussion performance from DePaul University. Her
training also includes eight years with the Civic Orchestra of Chicago,
where she performed under the direction of Daniel Barenboim, Zubin
Mehta, Pierre Boulez and Sir Georg Solti. As a free-lance artist, Ms.
Laughlin performs with many orchestras in the Chicagoland area including
the Chicago Lyric Opera Orchestra, Grant Park Orchestra, the Chicago
Sinfonietta and the Elgin Symphony. She is a strong advocate of new
music and appears regularly on the New Music DePaul concert series as
well as with the Contemporary Chamber Players. In 2000, Ms. Laughlin
joined the chamber ensemble Fulcrum Point which is "dedicated to
presenting thematically inspired programs that reinvigorate the concert
experience through the presentation of works influenced by Jazz, Latin,
Rock, Literature, Film and Theater." She is also a founding member of
her own new music ensemble, Chicago Chamber Works.
