With ‘a million-dollar sound’ (Pinchas Zukerman), twenty-two-year-old Luka Faulisi is one of the most promising violinists of his generation.

Having started to play the violin at the age of three, Luka was a student of Boris Belkin at the Conservatorium Maastricht in the Netherlands. Over the years, through personal mentoring, several distinguished artists have influenced Luka’s musical formation. Pavel Berman describes him as an ‘an incredibly gifted virtuoso violinist’. Flautist Emmanuel Pahud praises Luka as ‘an extremely talented young man with great instrumental abilities and a strong musical expression’ and according to Jean-Jacques Kantorow, Luka possesses ‘incredible facilities’.
