Luca Sestak live in Leipzig

Experience Luca Sestak live on July 20th

Luca Sestak, a German pianist recognized for his interpretations of Romantic and early 20th-century repertoire alongside contemporary compositions, will perform at Konzerte Am Bachdenkmal in Leipzig on July 20, 2026. Sestak’s performances are often noted for their technical precision and emotional depth, frequently featuring works by composers such as Rachmaninoff, Liszt, and Prokofiev, as well as pieces by living composers. He gained prominence after winning the International Chopin Competition in Warsaw in 2008.

Konzerte Am Bachdenkmal takes place annually at the Bach Monument in Leipzig, Germany. Initiated in 1996 by composer and pianist Siegfried Lorenz, the series aims to present piano music within a historically significant context – directly adjacent to the monument commemorating Johann Sebastian Bach. The open-air venue utilizes a Bösendorfer concert grand piano and offers a unique acoustic experience due to its urban setting. The concerts are intended to connect the legacy of Bach with contemporary piano performance and attract an international audience. The series specifically focuses on solo piano recitals, showcasing both established artists and emerging talents.
