Elise Jasmine Hills was born in the United Kingdom in 2001 and began playing the piano at the age of six, entirely self-taught, until she reached 17. She is now under the tutelage of some of the finest concert pianists of our era. Currently, Elise is enrolled at one of the world’s most esteemed music schools in London, where she studies with Professor, Mikhail Kazakevich.
During her formative years, Elise captivated audiences with her vibrant performances, described by one audience member as “grabbing the attention of every single person in the room.” This experience has informed her perspective on music, motivating her to make it more accessible and appealing to a broader audience.
Notably, Elise is the first-place winner of the International Competition “21st Century Talents.” She was also a finalist in the Elizabeth Schumann Lieder Competition, where she collaborated with her musical partner, Johannes Gerges. Elise features in a documentary titled “Finding Mozart,” where she discusses her musical upbringing and her connection to the great composer. Luka Okros sums it up by saying, “Elise is young, full of high ambition with fresh ideas, and possesses enormous potential.”
