Born in Munich in 1988, Alice Sara Ott received her first piano lessons when she was four and won a first prize with distinction in the well recognized "Jugend Musiziert" contest at the early age of seven. At the age of 13 she was already well into international music competitions, carrying away "The Most Promising Artist Award" in Hamamatsu, Japan and other major trophies. Two years later, Alice Sara Ott attracted a good deal of attention when she won the first prize in the "Silvio Bengalli" International Piano Competition as the youngest contestant by far, qualifying for the highest number of points ever given in the history of the competition.

In April 2006 she was invited by Hiroko Nakamura to inaugurate the final round of the popular ten-year series "The 100 Pianists"

In the year 2007 she played among others at Herkulessaal of the Munich Residenz and inspired both audience and reviewer at "Klavierfestival Ruhr" jumping in for Elena Bashkirova.
