Anna Paradiso Lauri is an internationally active harpsichordist based in Sweden and is regarded as one of the leading keyboard players of her generation. Born in Bari in southern Italy, she has an unusual background that combines an academic career in classical philology with the highest artistic standards in music. Since 2008 she has been fully dedicated to her musical career and was quickly recognised by international critics for her distinctive and expressive playing.

She has been widely praised for her vivid musicianship, refined Baroque phrasing, flexible rubato, and outstanding continuo playing. Anna Paradiso Lauri performs regularly as a soloist and continuo player with leading ensembles and orchestras in Scandinavia and internationally, and has appeared at prestigious venues and festivals across Europe, North America, and Asia.

Her distinctions include two nominations for the International Classical Music Award (ICMA), a Swedish Grammy Award for Best Classical Recording, and the Bernadotte Scholarship from the Royal Swedish Academy of Music. In parallel with her performing career, she is active as a teacher and artistic researcher at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm, with a special focus on historical instruments such as the harpsichord, clavichord, and fortepiano, combining historical insight with strong musical presence.
