Biography
Discovered at the XV International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow in 2015, Lucas Debargue is today one of the most sought-after young pianists in the world and continues to impress with the originality of his musical talent. His encounter with Rena Shereshevskaya at the age of 10 marked the beginning of his commitment to a career as a concert pianist. Debargue draws his inspiration from literature, painting, cinema and jazz and offers interpretations that revisit the classics. He brings to light little-known parts of the repertoire, such as pieces by Karol Szymanowski, Nikolai Medtner or Milosz Magin. The Frenchman also devotes time to composition and has written about twenty pieces for solo piano and for chamber music ensembles.
