Anela Lauren is a classically trained pianist who has discovered that the joys of jazz and improvisation provide meaning and connection in an ever changing world. Anela has found her calling in adapting a wide range of music to the celtic harp; particularly contemporary folk, world and rock. Anela also brings her own elegant touch to classical, traditional and Celtic songs.  Rocky Mountain National Park
Anela is a confessed natural beauty junkie. She spent 20 years in the Hawaiian Islands, mostly on the garden island of Kaua'i. She spent a bit of time in Taos, New Mexico, and the beautiful music mecca of Lyons, Colorado has been home for nearly 4 years. While in Hawai'i, she developed her distinctive style - fluid and graceful improvisation with kaleidoscopic overtones. 
Fragile Thunder trio
While in Hawaii, Anela played with renowned harpist Sylvia Woods, joined with "the slack-key lady" Cindy Combs and others to form a Hawaiian jazz group entitled Lilia, and took the stage with folk hero Michael Franti during New Year’s of 2006. Her current projects include an island-style duo with Rita Trujillo-Batiste called The Aloha Sisters and a trio with Grateful Dead Hour’s David Gans and slack-key great Stephen Inglis entitled Fragile Thunder.
