JUNE 2016
It was the most magical, amazing experience being honoured with an artist residency at Wildacres Retreat in June located in
the Blue Ridge Mountains, Little Switzerland NC USA. I was thrilled to have the opportunity to attend the world premiere of my
work “Soaring….on eagles’ wings” (for flute quintet and piano) by my Amazing colleagues, dear friends, Wildacres Flute Quintet attending
the International Flute Masterclass Wildacres Flute Retreat.
To have the peace and serenity in my own cabin surrounded by nature was truly inspiring which allowed me to accomplish so much writing.
Artists globally are so fortunate for the ongoing, support provided by the
Blumenthal Foundation, (Philp and Amy Blumenthal) providing residencies to artists annually.
Grateful Acknowledgment to Creative Saskatchewan for a Market Travel grant to attend the world premiere.

World Premiere Legend of Draco
October 25, 2014 RSO Masterworks Series
Regina Symphony Orchestra conducted by Maestro Boguslaw Dawidow
Concert review BY CHRISTOPHER TESSMER, -THE LEADER-POST OCTOBER 27, 2014
RSO performance was macabre, sublime, fantastique
Beginning with the world premiere of Regina-born composer Laura Pettigrew's Legend of Draco, the celebrated local
orchestra was outstanding. Pettigrew's three-movement symphony, which she introduced and noted, was based on a Celtic
legend. Legend of Draco was sublime with a style reminiscent of the acclaimed scores of the television show Game of Thrones,
in the sense that it evoked images of an ancient world, battle and a mythical creature.
Patrons were drawn in by the composition that alternated between romantic and epic moments and brilliantly utilized many
percussive elements. Often used minimally as part of orchestrations, Pettigrew's Legend of Draco made them a focal point in the
third movement and led it to a grandiose conclusion. Simply put - it was awesome.
