Lise de la Salle, born 1988 in Cherbourg, France, completed her studies at the Conservatoire Supérieur de Musique de Paris with highest distinction.

Lise de la Salle has played with many of the world's leading orchestras and conductors. She made her London Symphony Orchestra debut with Fabio Luisi and in 2016 returned to the orchestra with Antonio Pappano. Luisi, who invited her to become the first Artist-in-Residence of the Zurich Opera in 2014, has also frequently featured Ms. de la Salle with the Vienna Symphony, including a performance in New York on the Great Performers Series at Lincoln Center. In the U.S., Ms. de la Salle has played with the Boston Symphony, Chicago Symphony, San Francisco Symphony, Philadelphia Orchestra, National Symphony, and four times with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, among others. In her second appearance with the Minnesota Orchestra, she played the Gershwin Concerto in F, a performance that inspired one critic to exclaim, “She might just be the most exciting young artist in classical music right now.”
