Germany & Peru, 2005
Louisa Sophia Jefferson, born in Hamburg in 2005 into a German-Peruvian family, began her musical training at the age of four. She initially studied violin before discovering the piano at the age of five and devoting herself entirely to it at the age of eleven. A crucial turning point came in 2019 when she met the renowned pianist and teacher Rena Shereshevskaya. Since then, Louisa has been studying with her, first in France and since 2021 at the renowned École Normale de Musique de Paris Alfred Cortot. In 2024 she received her Diplôme Supérieur de Concertiste / Artist Diploma, followed by her master's degree in 2026.
Louisa has received numerous awards at national and international competitions, including first prize at the International Feurich Competition in Vienna as well as important special prizes at the German-Chinese Competition for Young Pianists and the Steinway Piano Competition. Her concert career has taken her to prestigious festivals and venues across Europe, including the Festival de Musique de Menton, Sommets Musicaux de Gstaad, Piano à Saint-Ursanne, Festival de La Roque d’Anthéron and Les Pianos Folies du Touquet.
In 2026 she made her debut at the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg and appeared at the Esprit du Piano Festival in Bordeaux and the Grand Piano Festival Open Air in Orléans. She took part in master classes with renowned pianists including Dmitri Bashkirov, Roger Muraro, Jean Saulnier, Lang Lang and Mira Marchenko. In 2023 she received a special scholarship from the Wing Fundus Foundation and has since performed several times in the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg. For the 2026/27 season, Louisa was selected for the prestigious Élite program at the École Normale de Musique de Paris.
As part of the program, she will develop her own artistic project and perform Johann Sebastian Bach's double concertos together with pianist Timothy Lozakovich and the orchestra in Lima, Peru. In October 2026 she will also take part in the 23rd edition of the Kissinger PianoOlymp.
