Lukas Sternath

Lukas Sternath piano

From an early age, Lukas Sternath’s life revolved around music. Born in Vienna in 2001, he travelled the world as a member of the famed Vienna Boys’ Choir, then trained in piano at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna. In 2025, he completed his master’s degree at the Hanover University of Music, Drama and Media.

At the 71st International ARD Music Competition in Munich in September 2022, Lukas caused a sensation, winning the First Prize and seven special prizes, including the Audience Prize. He was named an ECHO Rising Star of the 2024-25 season, and is a BBC New Generation Artist for the 2025-2027 seasons, for which he will perform with leading orchestras and in recitals across the United Kingdom. Lukas was named the recipient of the 2026 Terence Judd-Hallé Award.

In the 2025-26 season, Lukas made his debut with the Vienna Philharmonic under Tugan Sokhiev in Vienna and embarked on a European tour. As a soloist with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, he performed in Vienna under the baton of Kazuki Yamada and toured Germany. Among his many recitals, Lukas curated the Lukas Sternath Cycle at the Musikverein Wien, presenting recitals, song recitals, and chamber music concerts – a first in the history of the venue.
