​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.

​ 

​Louise Chisson has been on stage from a very early age and, among others, has played with the following orchestras: Solistes Moscou-Montpellier, the Moscow Chamber Orchestra, the Lithuanian National Symphony Orchestra, the National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine, l’Orchestre d'Auvergne, l’Orchestre de Chambre de Toulouse, die Salzburger Kammerphilharmonie and the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, with which she recently performed the Brahms violin concerto. She has also been invited to take part in numerous festivals in Monaco, Montpellier, Bergerac, Barcelona, Tirana and Menton where she played with Augustin Dumay, and works with prestigious musicians such as Isaac Stern, Maya Glesarova, Tedi Papavrami, Augustin Dumay, Wolfgang Marschner and Ana Chumachenco.

First Prize, all categories, of the Concours International des Jeunes Interprètes Lille-Wattrelos, she is then winner of the Alfredo Zanella violin competition in Bologna, Italy. Shortly afterwards she is prizewinner at the Henryk Szeryng Competition in Mexico and is invited to interpret the Bartok violin concerto n°2 in a series of concerts with the Mexico State Symphonic Orchestra. Her performances at the last Marguerite Long-Jacques Thibaud violin competition were strongly noticed, as well as at the Lipizer competition where she attracts the attention of the german violinist Wolfgang Marschner who invited her to perform in Freiburg. She distinguishes herself by her audacious choices and her great technical skills during solo performances of the integral of the 24 Caprices of Paganini, the sonatas of Ysaye, Bach and Prokofiev.

The special affection she has for the great sonatas as well as her constant desire to enrich her repertory bring her to attach a special importance to the works of the 20th century (Bartok, Prokofiev, Szymanowski…). The choices of her programs and the quality of her interpretations always delight the public. She plays recitals with great french pianists, in particular Jean-Philippe Collard, Eric Ferrand N’Kaoua…

She performs regularly with the Georgian pianist Tamara Atschba and became in 2013, first violin of the Ensemble Lux, a string quartet dedicated to the modern and contemporary repertoire.

Born in Bordeaux, Louise Chisson started to play the violin at the age of three with Robert Papavrami, father of the violinist Tedi Papavrami, and studied with him until the age of seventeen. "During my long teaching career, I have met a very few violinists who showed right from the beginning such a real love for the violin. She is today a violinist who understands the high demands of her profession and who has a natural musicality, a unique sensitivity and fine fantasy which never stopped growing over the years." (R. Papavrami). She is noticed at eight years old by Isaac Stern and three years later, Tibor Varga says to be "very impressed by the certain gift she shows for the violin". At seventeen years old she enters the class of the great violinist Dora Schwarzberg, student of the world renowned Russian teacher Yuri Jankelevich, at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna, where she received her Master degree unanimously with congratulations of the jury.
Her first Cd dedicated to Janacek, Prokofiev and Poulenc was released in 2013 under austrian label Gramola, followed in 2014 by another recording, "1914", consisting of works by C. Koechlin and L. VIerne.
