We are thrilled to introduce Louise Turnbull who is a 20-year-old violinist from Melbourne. She is currently in her first year of studies at the Royal Academy of Music in London on a full scholarship. Louise graduated from the Australian National Academy of Music and in 2023 was awarded the St Silas Award for the best first-year recital. In 2025, Louise was selected as an Australian Chamber Orchestra Emerging Artist and has since performed extensively with the orchestra. Louise is a passionate chamber musician on both violin and viola and has presented recitals across Melbourne and regional Victoria, most recently collaborating with pianist Elyane Laussade. She has also played casually with the Melbourne Chamber Orchestra, Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, and Australian Chamber Orchestra. Louise plays on a 1775 Antonio Gragnani violin generously on loan from the Australian Chamber Orchestra.
