Eric Lu

A freshly crowned laureate on the programme! In October 2025, American pianist Eric Lu won the first prize at the 19th International Chopin Piano Competition; now he presents a brand-new album featuring music by Schubert and Chopin. Earlier, he also won the first prize at the Leeds International Piano Competition (2018), and ever since he has built a flourishing international career and earned unanimous acclaim from the press. The Guardian wrote: “Eric Lu showed a dazzling command of sound and colour… It is clear that he is a born artist.” According to BBC Music Magazine: “Lu’s playing is rare – sensitive and emotionally intuitive.” The perfect occasion to welcome this exceptional talent to Flagey.
