LUKE HOWARD (solo) - matinee show
Theatre Royal, Castlemaine (Castlemaine, VIC)
Sunday, 3 August 2025 2:30 pm
Luke Howard is an Australian composer and pianist. As one of the country’s foremost practitioners of contemporary classical music, his music captivates audiences worldwide and masters the art of wordless storytelling across many forms – with solo, duo and trio albums, scores for film, theatre and ballet, and countless collaborations with artists, choreographers and musicians. With a long list of international performances that includes two sold out concerts at the Hamburg Elbphilharmonie, Howard is in demand as both a composer and performer. His albums have thrice made the Australian Music Prize longlist, and in 2022 he released All of Us, an album inspired by Albert Camus’ The Plague, which was written and recorded during Melbourne’s long lockdown.
Howard has collaborated extensively with dance, working with choreographer Juliano Nunes on pieces for the American Ballet Theatre, Birmingham Royal Ballet, Philadelphia Ballet and Royal Ballet. His music has also accompanied works by Nederlands Dans Theater, the Royal New Zealand Ballet and the San Francisco Ballet.
In this inaugural performance in Castlemaine, Luke will perform a selection of solo piano works.
