Tamara Atschba & Louise Chisson

A "rare talent", a "great technical mastery" and "above all a deep and remarkable musical personality", says Dora Schwarzberg about the young violinist Louise Chisson who has become through the years an original and multifaceted artist, displaying her outstanding abilities in the classical and romantic repertory as in the modern and contemporary music.

Born in Bordeaux, Louise Chisson started to play the violin at the age of three with Robert Papavrami. She was noticed at eight years old by Isaac Stern and three years later, Tibor Varga said to be "very impressed by the certain gift she shows for the violin". At seventeen she entered the class of Dora Schwarzberg at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna, where she received her Master degree.

First Prize, all categories, of the Concours International des Jeunes Interprètes Lille-Wattrelos, winner of the Alfredo Zanella Violin Competition in Bologna, and prizewinner at the Henryk Szeryng Competition in Mexico. She has performed with numerous orchestras including the Lithuanian National Symphony Orchestra, the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, the Salzburg Chamber Soloists, and the Deutsche Kammerakademie.
