We are incredibly proud to celebrate Dylan Hanes and his outstanding performance at the Carmel Klavier International Piano Competition! 🎹

Dylan faced a field of exceptionally talented musicians in the Concerto Advanced B category and earned a well-deserved 2nd Prize. His technical precision and the deep emotional maturity he brought to his performance were a highlight of the event, perfectly showcasing the hard work he has poured into his craft.

It is a thrill to see his dedication recognized on such a prestigious international stage.

Dylan performed at a recent OMF session and has several videos on the way. Prepare to be AMAZED!

Born in Montréal, Canadian pianist Lucille Chung has been acclaimed for her “stylish and refined performances” by Gramophone magazine, “combining vigor and suppleness with natural eloquence and elegance” (Le Soir). She made her debut at the age of ten with the Montréal Symphony Orchestra and Charles Dutoit subsequently invited her to be a featured soloist during the MSO Asian Tour in 1989. Since then, she has performed an extensive concerto repertoire spanning from Bach to Adams with over 70 leading orchestras such as the Philadelphia Orchestra, Moscow Virtuosi, BBC National Orchestra of Wales, Flemish Radio Orchestra, Orquesta Sinfónica de Tenerífe, Orquesta Sinfónica de Bilbao, Staatskapelle Weimar, Philharmonie de Lorraine, Orchestra Sinfonica Siciliana, Belgrade Philharmonic, and more. Before turning twenty, she graduated from both the Curtis Institute of Music and the Juilliard School, where she studied with Seymour Lipkin. She decided to further her studies in London with Maria Curcio-Diamand, Schnabel’s protégée, at the “Mozarteum” in Salzburg with Karl-Heinz Kämmerling and received the Konzertexam Diplom from the Hochschule “Franz Liszt” in Weimar, where she worked with the late Lazar Berman. We look forward to welcoming Lucille to Carmel Klavier this summer!
