Canadian pianist Jan Lisiecki has established a career spanning more than a decade and a half on the world’s leading concert stages. He works closely with the foremost conductors and orchestras of our time and maintains an exceptionally active international schedule, performing well over one hundred concerts each year.
The 25-26 season sees him returning to Rotterdam Philharmonic, Vienna Symphony, Finnish Radio Symphony, Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra, Gulbenkian Orchestra, Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin as well as San Francisco Symphony and Houston Symphony, among others.
In August 2025, he performed with the renowned Seoul International Music Festival at the Seoul Arts Center in South Korea with a Beethoven concert and a solo recital with his highly acclaimed Preludes program, which was recently released by Deutsche Grammophon. A further 30 piano recitals take him across Europe and North America, including the Philharmonie Berlin, Vienna Konzerthaus, Palau Barcelona, Koerner Hall Toronto and the National Arts Centre Ottawa. Continuing his collaboration with the Academy of St Martin in the Fields, which he led from the piano in a tour of several Beethoven cycles in the previous season, he will perform another Beethoven cycle at the Enescu and Merano Festivals.
Recent return engagements include the New York Philharmonic, The Cleveland Orchestra, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Orchestre de Paris, Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich and the Staatskapelle Dresden. He made his debut with the Berlin Philharmonic in spring 2024. A regular presence at major summer festivals across Europe and North America, Lisiecki has appeared at the Salzburg Festival and has made multiple appearances at the BBC Proms. His previous recital programme was presented in more than 50 cities worldwide.
Lisiecki was offered an exclusive recording contract with Deutsche Grammophon at the age of 15. Since then, he has recorded nine albums, earning numerous accolades including the JUNO Award, ECHO Klassik, Gramophone Critics’ Choice, Diapason d’Or and Edison Klassiek.
At 18, he received both the Leonard Bernstein Award and Gramophone’s Young Artist Award, becoming the youngest-ever recipient of the latter. He has served as a UNICEF Ambassador to Canada since 2012.
