The Swiss-Argentine violinist and composer, Sophie Lüssi, studied jazz violin at the „Zürcher Hochschule der Künste“ and composition in Buenos Aires. After 18 years living in Buenos Aires, she is back in Switzerland, teaching Jazz Violin at the „Musikschule Jazz/Jazzcampus” in Basel and giving Jazzworkshops for String Instruments in Switzerland and Argentina. Searching for new sounds and formations for the jazz violin, she founded different ensembles with whom she performs her compositions. She also writes commissioned compositions. She grew up listening to Gypsy Jazz, for this reason for her to play this music is like coming home.
