Mirusia Louwerse

Musician and ambassador

2025 QLD Australian of the Year Nominee

An internationally acclaimed, highly successful musician, Mirusia Louwerse has always used her musical talent to uplift and enrich the lives of others. 

As an ambassador for the Australian Children’s Music Foundation, a charity organisation working to expand access and equity in musical education, Mirusia is deeply invested in nurturing young talent, and has mentored many young singers and other musicians entering the industry.  

Despite touring the world as a star soprano, she has always found time to give back, including conducting countless performances in places like aged-care facilities, since she was a child. 

Mirusia knows the transformative power of music and is the ambassador for Silver Memories, a tailored, nostalgic music broadcasting service for older Australians, which is proven to increase happiness and wellbeing while providing a non-medical option for management of dementia.  

Mirusia’s community service efforts were recognised with the 2024 Redlands Coast Citizen of the Year award.
