The CSO will be hosting a Richard Chandler Memorial Piano Masterclass with internationally acclaimed pianist Raphael Lustchevsky on the 26th April at the CSO’s rehearsal rooms from 2pm to 4pm, in partnership with the Polish Association.
Raphael Alexandre Lustchevsky made his concert debut with the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra at the age of 16. Since then, he has gone on to perform in many prestigious concert halls such as the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris, Palais des Nations in Geneva, Warsaw National Philharmonic, Victoria Concert Hall in Singapore, Sala Cecilia Meirelles in Rio de Janeiro, and Verbrugghen Hall in Sydney.
A student of Professor Andrzej Jasinski, he has been listed as a Steinway Artist on the “Steinway & Sons Artists’ Roster” in New York featuring the world’s finest pianists.
Observe four participants as they are put through their paces, receive performance and practise advice and work through difficult passages in their current projects.
Raphael is in Christchurch for the centenary celebrations of Poland’s independence and will be performing a recital at The Piano on 28th April. For more information about the recital, please click here.
