Laura’s interest in the intersection of neuroscience and human rights emerged as a coordinator at the Saxelab Social Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory at MIT, where neurobiological research often sought to understand the biological underpinnings of implicit bias, inter-ethnic social conflict, violence and conversely collective empowerment and change.

This collaboration celebrates not just the mutual respect for one another’s musical talents and work, but also the friendship and life-long relationships that are forged through music making. Since Amarantos came together in Portland, Maine in 2013, the group has performed at The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon twice, first with pop artist Halsey and again in December of 2017 with St. Vincent; the TEDxDirigo Mavericks and Misfits; on The Cold River Radio Show; at The Leura Hill Eastman Performing Arts Center; and also regularly throughout Maine. Portland, Maine based singer/songwriter, Richardson performs and writes music through folk, indie, and electronic styles. With influences such as Joni Mitchell, Kate Bush, and Bjork, her songs are known for dense vocal harmonies and soaring melodies as well as combining synthetic and acoustic orchestral sounds. A genre-bending and genre-defining project, the Amarantos Quartet applies sounds to Richardson’s unique and vast songwriting and vocal skills. Each player works tirelessly to arrange, promote, and grow this exciting, dream-come-true enterprise. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5acfa892f407b4b97503bc00/1571875231377-5LNFEE7AXYN70VZFBFEN/TxD10th_AntonioRocha.jpg Home - Antonio Rocha Antonio Rocha presents a unique fusion of verbal and mime narratives coated by his tenor voice and fantastical sound effects.
