ABOUT OUR SOLO ARTIST

“Louise King exudes a vigorous artistry that surely appeals to a younger generation of music lovers” - The Australian

Louise King is an exciting example of an independent contemporary classical musician. A refined English cellist with extensive international experience and training, she is an inspiring concert artist, teacher, recording artist, adjudicator and event producer. Louise has won prestigious scholarships, solo prizes and several international chamber music competitions and now performs in Australia’s finest music festivals and classical concert series.

As Artistic Director of Long Listen Festival and Cello Dreaming she runs a busy private teaching studio, produces and presents community and professional concerts, workshops, collaborative performance projects, mentors emerging young musicians, and coaches for the Australian and Queensland Youth Orchestras.

Louise King moved to Australia in 2003 after working extensively throughout the UK, Europe and Asia with the BBC Philharmonic, the Hallé Orchestra, Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra and as a cello, chamber music tutor and conductor of the Royal Northern College of Music Junior Department, Manchester.

A multi-award and competition-winning graduate of the Royal Colleges of Music in London and Manchester, Louise underwent international masterclass and postgraduate study with Christopher Bunting, William Pleeth at Britten-Pears School for Advanced Musical Studies, Anner Bylsma, Karine Georgian, Ralph Kirschbaum and Steven Isserlis at International Musician’s Seminar, Prussia Cove sponsored by the Musician’s Benelovant Fund and chamber music coaching with the Amadeus, Chillingirian, Fitzwilliam, Lindsey and Kronos Quartets.

A MESSAGE FROM LOUISE:

“International music festivals program Bach as a music centrepiece, as it is a moving and profound listening experience. In Leipzig, Germany, the chance to hear Bach’s solo works has become a pilgrimage for audiences, a way to pay homage to his genius and to artists who perform his works. Living on the Sunshine Coast for the last twenty years, I have yet to find a venue, community organization or a festival that programs and produces concerts of his music. So, I do and I champion it.”

“I performed the solo cello suites in the Bach Festival, Armidale, NSW and observed how Australian audiences crave this kind of communal reverence while they listen to his music unfold. Bach is a form of musical meditation. Over the last thirty years of practicing it, I have come to adore its familiarity, both comforting and challenging in form, function and design. As a regional based Teaching Artist, I am required to teach it to the next generation as part of grading examinations, but few have ever heard Bach live in concert in the hands of master artists. This is the opportunity for aspiring musicians to experience it!”
