Philipp Scheucher

“His absolute stage presence and his crisp-lively sound of his interpretations set

new quality standards.”

… stated the WDR Broadcasting Cooperation after winning the First Prize at the International
Music Prize in Cologne/Germany. Whether in Vienna’s Musikverein, Leipzig’s Gewandhaus, or
Berlin’s Konzerthaus—Philipp Scheucher is at home in the most prestigious concert halls of
Europe and beyond – USA, Brazil, Canada, South Africa, Russia and Japan.
He was born in Graz, Austria in 1993. At the age of ten, his extraordinary musical talent was
noticed by Maria Zgubic at the University of Music and Performing Arts (Graz), where his
career as a pianist started to develop. With the guidance of Markus Schirmer, he found his
own personality and artistry on the piano with further impulses by Ilja Scheps at the “HfMT
Köln”, which gave him the rare ability to revitalize classical music and bring it to the 21st
century.
His repertoire includes a wide range covering the standard repertoire of today’s classical
pianists combined with his affinity for contemporary music and rare treasures of unknown
composers, e.g. the world premiere of Austrian composer Matthias G. Kendlinger’s piano
concerto “Larissa” or the collaboration with the Styrian “Tonkünstlerbund” including the work
on Zerline Erfurt’s Sonata quasi fantasia.
Philipp Scheucher’s musical flexibility, technical abilities, and his interaction with an audience
all add to his promise as a leading artist of his generation.
