BIO:
Raphael Lustchevsky’s international career began at the age of 16 with a successful debut alongside the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra. Since 2003, he has been listed as a Steinway Artist on the Steinway & Sons Artists’ Roster in New York, which features some of the world’s finest pianists.
With a concert career spanning over 25 years, Lustchevsky has performed in many of the world’s premier venues, including Théâtre du Châtelet (Paris), the United Nations Palace of Nations (Geneva), Warsaw National Philharmonic, Palau de la Música (Barcelona), Victoria Concert Hall (Singapore), Suntory Hall (Tokyo), Sala Cecilia Meireles (Rio de Janeiro), Teatro Solís (Montevideo), and Linder Auditorium (Johannesburg), among many others. He has also performed in Australia’s leading venues, such as Verbrugghen Hall and Melba Hall.
He has been featured at prestigious music festivals including the Lucerne Festival (Switzerland), Chopin Festival (Poland), Oraniensteiner Festival (Germany), Primavera Viseu (Portugal), l’Octobre Musicale (Tunisia), Cervantino Festival (Mexico), and Chopiniana (Buenos Aires).
Lustchevsky holds an MD in Arts from the Karol Szymanowski Music University in Poland and a Doctor of Musical Arts (DMA) from the Franz Liszt Music University in Germany. He is a prize winner at several international competitions, including Clara Schumann (Düsseldorf), Maria Canals (Barcelona), Luis Sigall (Chile), and the UNESCO Dinu Lipatti Competition (Bucharest).
His discography includes 10 CDs released by Polish Radio, Montblanc GmbH, Canyon Classics, and DUX Recording Producers. He has also recorded for NPR, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, and Japan’s Fujisankei Group.
Widely regarded as an authoritative interpreter of Chopin’s works, his most recent album—Chopin: Complete Ballades—received critical acclaim in professional music journals in the UK and Luxembourg.
Lustchevsky maintains a versatile repertoire of more than 30 concertos for piano and orchestra and has appeared with leading symphony orchestras across Europe, Asia, Latin America, and South Africa.
He has been appointed Honorary Professor at the National University of Costa Rica and has served as a guest professor at institutions in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, China, and across Latin America. He is also the founder and juror of Chopin piano competitions in Peru and Ecuador.
As Sir James Galway OBE once remarked:
“If you have the chance to listen to this remarkable young man play, I am sure you will be as I was—spellbound.”
