The Prestige Series of the Endler Concert Series is proud to present Lukas Vondracek – the indisputable winner of the International Queen Elisabeth Piano Competition 2016.

Lukáš Vondráček is the son of two professional pianists who identified his musical ability when he was only two. Lukas made his first public appearance at the age of four. His debut as a fifteen-year-old in 2002 with the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra and Vladimir Ashkenazy was followed by a major US tour in 2003. His natural and assured musicality and remarkable technical ability have long marked him out as a gifted and mature musician.

In 2012 Lukas scooped up many awards at the 12th Unisa International Piano Competition. Since then he has been a regular visitor to South Africa on concert tours. His programme for the Endler includes Novak’s Memories, Op. 6; Liszt Transcendental Etude No. 9 “Ricordanza“, Chopin’s Scherzo No. 1, Op. 20, Brahms’ Scherzo, Op. 4 and Brahms Sonata No. 1 Op. 1.

Be sure not to miss this solo recital on Friday 9 June at 20h00 in the Endler, Stellenbosch.
