A runaway favorite at last summer's Tchaikovsky competition in Moscow, Lucas Debargue has confounded and energized the classical music world with his unusual career trajectory, unconventional technique, and riveting intellect. Mostly self-taught until late in his career, Debargue won the Moscow Music Critics Prize for performances of "artistry, originality and technical brilliance" (The Telegraph, London).
