Lukas Geniušas © Ira PolyarnayaLukas Geniušas – Pollack Hall – February 12, 2023 LiveEvents February 6, 2023 905 The Ladies’ Morning Musical Club presents Lukas Geniušas Born in Moscow in 1990, Lukas Geniušas graduated from the Chopin Music College Moscow, in 2008. He has been a prize winner at several prestigious international competitions, including the 2015 Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow (Silver Medal) and at the 2010 International Chopin competition in Warsaw. Since 2015, Geniušas has been a featured artist of “Looking at the Stars” a Toronto-based philanthropic project whose purpose is to bring classical music to institutions and organizations (prisons, hospitals, shelters, and the like) where residents may not have opportunities to experience it live in traditional settings. His discography includes works by Beethoven, Brahms, Rachmaninoff (the complete Preludes), Chopin (the complete Etudes, the Third Sonata, and a selection of Mazurkas), Prokofiev Sonatas and works by Stravinsky, Bartók, Desyatnikov, and Tchaïkovsky. His first recording on the Mirare label (Prokofiev’s Sonatas Nos. 2 and 5) was awarded the Choc de Classica and the Diapason Recital CD of the Year in 2019. Geniušas is also an avid collaborator in chamber music and a highly inquisitive musician who enjoys learning new works by modern composers as well as resurrecting rarely performed repertory from the past.
