Eric Lu

Eric Lu is an American classical pianist who's been captivating audiences with his deeply felt interpretations since bursting onto the international scene. Born in 1997 in Massachusetts to Chinese immigrant parents, this prodigy started piano at six and later studied at the prestigious Curtis Institute. After winning the 2015 International Chopin Competition in Warsaw (at just 17) and claiming top prize at the 2018 Leeds International Piano Competition, Lu solidified his reputation as one of classical music's most compelling young voices.

Known for his poetic touch and mature artistry, Lu specializes in Romantic-era heavyweights like Chopin, Schubert, and Brahms – exactly the composers featured in his recent releases. His Warner Classics recordings showcase both technical mastery and emotional depth, whether nailing the stormy drama of Chopin's "Funeral March" Sonata or unpacking the tender mysteries in Schubert's late sonatas. When he's not touring concert halls worldwide, you might catch this rising star performing in intimate venues or sharing his love for classical music's timeless works.
