Louisa Trewartha leads a diverse career as a composer, trumpet player, and educator. As an orchestral trumpet player Louisa has performed with the Melbourne, Tasmanian and Sydney Symphony Orchestras, Melbourne Chamber Orchestra, and since 2009 has played in over 40 operas, ballets, and musicals with Orchestra Victoria. Louisa has been a Yamaha artist since 2022. After studying at ANAM in 2013, Louisa completed a Master of Arts in Scoring for Film and Visual Media in 2016 at Pulse College, Dublin and in 2017 participated in the Australian Composers School with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra. She has since been commissioned to write larger ensemble works for groups such as Melbourne Chamber Orchestra and The Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, and chamber works for the Sydney and Canberra Symphony Orchestras. In 2022, Louisa had works performed by the President’s Own US Marine Band and The National Youth Brass Band of Great Britain, and in 2023 Louisa was commissioned as part of the ABC Classic and Jazz Composer Commissioning Fund, recording a new brass quintet. Louisa's solo works have been selected as test pieces for state and national band competitions, and are also on the VCE music performance repertoire list. www.louisatrewartha.com.au
