Lucas Debargue
Born in 1990, Lucas Debargue took a highly unconventional path to success. After discovering classical music at the age of 10, he began to nourish his passion and curiosity with a variety of artistic and intellectual experiences, including studies in literature and philosophy. An interpreter of great integrity and impressive expressiveness, Lucas Debargue draws inspiration from literature, painting, cinema and jazz in his playing, developing a very personal interpretation of a carefully selected repertoire. Although the core piano repertoire is at the center of his career, he enjoys presenting works by lesser-known composers. Debargue devotes much of his time to composition and has already created over twenty works for solo piano and chamber ensembles. Today, he is invited to perform as a soloist and with leading orchestras in the world’s most prestigious concert halls.
