Justina La Cour

About Justina

Laureate of the 2025 Carl Nielsen Talent Prize in Denmark, Justina is one of today’s most promising young violinists. A protégé of the renowned Dutch violinist Janine Jansen, with whom she studied at the Haute École de Musique Valais in Switzerland, Justina also holds an Advanced Postgraduate degree in Solo Performance from the Royal Danish Conservatory of Music in Copenhagen. A prize winner of numerous international competitions, she rose to prominence after her succes at the “Golden Classical Music Awards” 2025 (USA), which led to invitations to perform in prestigious venues such as Carnegie Hall (New York), the Musikverein in Vienna, the Berlin Philharmonie and Tokyo Opera City Hall in Japan. Always in search of new interpretations and musical ideas, Justina is equally devoted to the traditional repertoire and to exploring contemporary music. In 2024, she met pianist Marina Saïki at the Gala Concert in Paris, organized by the French Connection Academy, where both were laureates. Since then, they have shared the stage as a duo in venues such as Copenhagen Philharmonic Hall (DKDM) and the Victoria Music Center in Barcelona. Justina plays a beautiful Italian violin by Orsolo Gotti (Pieve di Cento 1917) The instrument perfectly captures Justina’s deep and powerful sound.
