}}Lara de Wit (born 6 June 1983) is a South African Australian pianist, violinist, arranger, composer and music teacher. She had been employed by Opera Australia until 2015, where she also worked as a répétiteur.

de Wit is also widely known for her covers of music from videogames, soundtracks and anime featured on her Twitch and YouTube channels, called "Lara6683".[2]

In 2012, de Wit published her first album, Game On: 2 Player mode, a collection of piano and violin covers from anime and video games. The album was co-produced and arranged along with American violinist Taylor Davis. In 2014, de Wit started releasing a series of singles.

Biography

Lara de Wit was born in Durban, South Africa. When she was still a child, her family moved to Sydney, in Australia. She started playing piano at the age of 6,[3] encouraged by her parents after her kindergarten teacher suggested them about Lara's potential affinity for music.[4] She began playing the violin at the age of 9.[3] While in high school, she studied "3 Unit Music" and specialised in composition.[6] After completing her AMusA in 1999, de Wit studied at the University of New South Wales and graduated with a Bachelor of Music.

Career

Lara de Wit was the pianist/repetiteur for Opera Australia's touring company, "Oz Opera", for four years. She performed with the Australia Ensemble on several occasions and toured nationally with prominent "popular" and "crossover" artists. de Wit is also a very experienced accompanist, frequently performing for student recitals, performances and exams, as well as accompanying a variety of musical groups, including the Collegium Musicum Choir at UNSW.

de Wit has over ten years experience teaching piano and musicianship, both privately and in the classroom. She has been the Musical Director for numerous musical theatre productions and a keyboardist in several professional productions, including a tour to China and Japan in 2011. She has been commissioned to compose original musicals for youth musical theatre organisations as well as directing and performing the music for these productions. She has also received several prizes due to her high-level performances.[6]

{{As of|2015}}, she's a music teacher for an Australian high school.

YouTube recognition and opportunities

Lara de Wit is passionate about music for videogames (she received her first Nintendo console during her childhood), and decided to use YouTube as a "showcase" for sharing her appreciation about this genre.

Recognition that comes with YouTube popularity provides Lara opportunities to showcase her talent:

– Early in 2012, she was invited, along with YouTube musicians Taylor Davis and Kyle Landry, to perform at the Electronic Entertainment Expo.[13]

– In April 2014, de Wit performed, along with pianist Kyle Landry, at the "Movie Music Night" and "Anime Music Night" concerts, in Singapore.[14][15]
