Laine Longton began playing cello at the age of 5 in Victoria, BC. Daughter of Michael Longton, a professor of music theory and composition and a pianist, and Sheila Longton, an oboist, she quickly developed a deep love of music. Laine holds two music degrees; a Bachelor of Music in Performance with Distinction from the University of Victoria, and a Masters of Music in Performance and Literature at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign. She has studied with Gail O’Riordan (Victoria), Pamela Highbaugh Aloni (UVic), Dmitry Kouzov (University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign), Guido Schiefen (Germany), Martin Rummel (Germany), violinist Denes Zsigmondy (Hungary), and Eric Wilson (UBC).

Laine has been a core member of the Vancouver Island Symphony in Nanaimo since 2014. She has been an active member of the freelance community since she moved to Vancouver in 2012 including being an extra cellist with the Vancouver Symphony, Vancouver Opera, and the Vancouver Metropolitan Orchestra. She performs in the pit orchestra of musical theatre productions including Fun Home (ArtsClub Theatre), Parade (Raincity Theatre), and A Little Night Music (PatrickStreet Productions).
