Winner of several international competitions, Louise
divides her time between Paris and Basel, performing
as a soloist on the harpsichord and various instruments
in a wide repertoire of ensemble music.
Louise discovered the harpsichord at the age of 7, and studied with
Aline Zylberajch for 12 years before entering the Schola
Cantorum Basiliensis. Her first class was with Jörg-Andreas
Bötticher, followed by Francesco Corti.
At the age of 19, Louise won first prize in the Concours Corneille
international harpsichord competition. A little later, she won the
international La Capella Musicale competition in Milan, as well as
the Bach Wettbewerb competition in Leipzig, and was also a
prizewinner at the Fondation Royaumont and the Jeunes Talents
association.
A much-appreciated soloist, Louise is regularly invited to perform at
festivals and concert series across Europe, including the Oude
Muziek festival in Utrecht, Cembalo in der Stadt Basel, Bel-Air
Claviers, l'Entracte, the Musée de Neuchâtel and the Musée de
Colmar, Infinity festival Basel, Festival Aurore and others.
As a continuo player, Louise has broadened her repertoire and
knowledge by performing in a variety of ensembles, both small-scale
(the Banshies, Tumbleweeds) and large-scale (Pygmalion,
Jupiter, Le Concert de la Loge, Masques, etc.), as well as working
as a conductor and vocal coach (Teater Basel).
At the same time, Louise had a keen interest in teaching, which she
was able to pursue for four years at the music school in Riedisheim,
or as a replacement at the Schola C. B.It was at the same institution,
at the end of a master's degree in pedagogy, that she was awarded
the prize for best dissertation by the Walter & Corina
Christen-Marchal Foundation for her work on 'Le corps & les
techniques de clavecin dans la France des XVIIème et XVIIIème
siècles' (The body and harpsichord techniques in seventeenth- and
eighteenth-century France).
