Rising Stars: Lukas Sternath

Lukas Sternath

He calls life as a musician a dream. The Viennese pianist Lukas Sternath sang with the famous Wiener Sängerknabe, and now only in the shower. His piano teacher in Hannover is Igor Levit and he was taught by András Schiff and Till Fellner. In 2022, the Austrian won the ambitious ARD competition in Munich. In the Kleine Zaal he brings the past and the present together in a tailor-made program. The pure romantic Brahms and the modern romantic Liszt stand next to the contemporary Sofia Gubaidulina and Patricia Kopatchinskaja. Sternath: 'What connects all these beautiful pieces is the idea of finding complexity within simplicity and vice versa: planting a seed and seeing what grows from it.'
