Thaïs Louvert, a Swiss violinist with Russian and French roots, began studying the violin at the age of six with Rada Hadjikostova at the CPMDT in Geneva. There she continued her pre-professional training with François James, before earning a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in music education with distinction in the class of Prof. Sergey Ostrovsky at the Haute École de Musique de Genève. She is currently completing a master’s in performance at the Zurich University of the Arts with Prof. Sergey Malov.
As a soloist, Thaïs Louvert has appeared several times at the Victoria Hall in Geneva, including with the AMAsymphonique Orchestra and the Jubilus Orchestra, as well as on a tour of China with the Juventutti Orchestra.
As an orchestral musician she works regularly with various chamber ensembles, including Ensemble Ars Excelcis, Ensemble Puplinge Classique and the Nexus Orchestra. She has also performed with the Cameristi della Scala and accompanied the violinist Maxim Vengerov. Her love of the symphonic repertoire has led her to play under great conductors such as Gábor Takács-Nagy and Jukka-Pekka Saraste in Helsinki. She won the academy position at the Musikkollegium Winterthur for the 2024–2025 season.
She is a member of Trio Leonis (violin, cello, piano) and is continuing her training with the Quartetto di Cremona at the Accademia Stauffer. Since September 2024 the trio has been part of the Le Dimore del Quartetto network, and it won a prize at the Kiwanis Music Prize 2025.
