Lara Villanueva is a Maryland-based audio engineer and multi-instrumental musician known for her resourcefulness and attention to detail.

She has worked in a variety of environments ranging from studio and location recordings to sound reinforcement, and across genres from classical and orchestral to jazz and pop. Some of the organisations that she has recorded and mixed for are the Heifetz International Music Institute, zFestival, and various freelance projects. Originally from the northern suburbs of New York City, Lara currently studies at the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University for her bachelor’s degrees in Bassoon Performance and Recording Arts and Sciences, and her master’s degree in Audio Sciences-Acoustics, and is a member of the Audio Engineering Society’s Student Delegate Assembly.
