The Bridges of Madison County
​
Signature Theatre


In 2023, Laura returned to DC to music direct this critically acclaimed production of the Jason Robert Brown musical. Peter Marks of The Washington Post praised the music direction by noting: "Brown’s music, orchestrated here for 10 string instruments, a keyboard and percussion... revels in mid-century sound... It’s exquisitely arranged, a world inside a score. Under Laura Bergquist’s musical direction, many of the songs illuminate secret thoughts — reflections of isolated lives."

Some Enchanted Evening
​
London, England


Laura served as Music Director and arranger for the concert event Some Enchanted Evening with Telly Leung, Zachary James and Kelly Glyptis. She enjoyed visiting friends in the West End production of Allegiance during her time in London.
