"Lauren's whistling was beautiful. She touched my heart and I think that's what music is all about," said two time World Champion Whistler, Geert Chatrou, who judged the competition in 2017. "Besides that, her stage appearance is astonishing. A true champion and ambassador for the art of whistling"
In this year's competition, Elder has entered the categories of Live Band Popular, Classical, and Allied Arts, where she will sing and whistle an original song, while accompanying herself on the ukulele. Elder will also perform in The International Concert of the Masters, as a past winner. Tickets for all events and more information is available at mastersofwhistling.com
Lauren's father, Lee Elder, taught her how to whistle when she was four years old, but she didn't whistle publicly until 2011, when she started playing live shows of her original music, which features her whistling.
Videos of Elder's past award winning performances are available here and here. Outside of the competition, you can see her whistle her original music this coming Monday, 9/25 at 7pm, at The Hotel Cafe in Hollywood. Tickets are available here.
