The Artist
Described as “a young artist to watch closely” (Diapason), French pianist Louis-Victor Bak is based in London. After beginning piano aged 14, he studied at the Lyon Regional Conservatory before joining the Royal College of Music, where he studied with Edna Stern and completed his Bachelor and Master of Performance, supported by the Ilona Eibenschütz Award.
He has performed at major venues including Wigmore Hall, La Seine Musicale, Royal Albert Hall and Conway Hall, and has appeared across the UK, France and Europe. Louis-Victor has worked with conductors such as Mathieu Herzog, Paul Newbold, Emilie Postel-Vinay and Paul Jenkins, and orchestras including Appassionato Orchestra, Dorking Philharmonia, Orchestre de la Bastille and the Knighton Chamber Orchestra.
A laureate of several international competitions, he was a candidate at the 2024 Leeds International Piano Competition. His debut album, released in 2024 on Indésens-Calliope and dedicated to Debussy and Chaminade, was praised by Diapason, Classica and France Musique, and presented by Gautier Capuçon on Radio Classique.
