LUKAS STERNATH, piano

CANADIAN DEBUT

Post-performance Talk Back

As a child, Lukas Sternath travelled the world as a member of the famed Vienna Boys’ Choir. He studied piano at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna, and then completed his master’s degree at the University of Hanover, where he was Igor Levit’s only student. He also studied with Paul Lewis, and further mentors include Till Fellner and Sir András Schiff. At the 2022 ARD Music Competition, Lukas caused a sensation when he swept the board, taking home the First Prize as well as seven special prizes including the Audience Prize. He has been both an ECHO Rising Star and a BBC New Generation Artist. Audiences have marveled at the freshness of Sternath’s artistry and his “uncanny gift of communicating through the piano as if it were a tuneful cello” (The New York Times). Find out what the fuss is all about when he makes his Canadian debut!

His thoughts, mature and considered, couldn’t have been more vividly expressed.
