About the Performer:
Louisa Theart was appointed sub-principal flute of the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra in January 2022.
Louisa holds an MMUS from the Royal College of Music (2012) which she obtained after completing her BMus Hons at UCT (2010). She has also played as guest principal with the KZN Philharmonic Orchestra and the Free State Symphony Orchestra. In 2019 she appeared as soloist with the Musicanti Chamber Orchestra in Cape Town where she performed Vivaldi’s concerto for piccolo. In 2015 she performed at the National Arts Festival with Magdalene Minnaar in the acclaimed production Waansin which was described by critics as “medium- bending” and “breathtaking”. In 2016 she performed as onstage musician in Cape Town Opera’s production of The Merry Widow of Malagawi.
She has performed at many of South Africa’s Music and Arts Festivals as member of several chamber music groups. As a keen performer of new music, she has commissioned a number of notable new works from South African composers through the SAMRO Foundation. She is regularly booked to record soundtracks for films and documentaries in Cape Town’s budding film-scoring industry.
