Jessica Laird is an Alto Flute specialist with a passion for new music. She credits this pursuit to being exposed to a broad range of musical experiences. These include many years in music theatre, specialist training and performance experience in traditional and modern classical styles, in addition to contemporary styles such as gospel, fusion and electronic music. Her interest in new expression through sound exploration and improvisation is reflected in The Laird Project, a collaborative duo formed with her husband, contemporary saxophonist, Rohan Laird. She was a founding member of Nimbus Trio and has had the opportunity to premiere new works live on radio, in recording and in performance throughout Melbourne and interstate. Jessica trained at the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music under the direction of Peter Sheridan and Mardi McSullea, becoming the first to complete specialised Bachelor and Master studies on Alto Flute as a principle instrument. Jessica performs on C Flute, Piccolo and Bass Flute and is a represented artist with Move Records. Jessica holds a Bachelor of Music (Hons), Masters of Music (Performance Teaching) and a Graduate Diploma in Education (Secondary).
