Thomas Luke came to national attention after winning the Keyboard Category of BBC Young Musician 2020. Driven by a desire for discovery and authentic human connection, he moves freely between traditional concert repertoire, his own compositions, and expansive multi-piano arrangements. His performances have featured on national radio and television, and have taken him to stages worldwide, including London’s Wigmore Hall, Leipzig’s Weißes Haus, the Xiamen International Conference Center Concert Hall and the Van Cliburn Concert Hall in Fort Worth.

Hailed as a “trailblazer” by Steinway & Sons, Thomas made history by performing the inaugural Steinway SpirioCast between two UK institutions. He was recently awarded the Prix Monti at the 2025 Piano Campus International Competition and has been recognised by the Vienna International Music Competition for “outstanding talent, a remarkable musicality and a very accomplished technique.” In June 2024, he was selected as one of just 24 Young Artists globally to attend the PianoTexas International Festival, and has received guidance from Lang Lang, Arie Vardi and Stephen Kovacevich.

In 2024, he launched Many Pianos - a series of layered arrangements for four or more pianos, blending digital and acoustic elements. His first video, a cover of Jacob Collier’s Little Blue, was recognised by Collier himself and has since reached thousands of listeners online. Music from Thomas’ forthcoming album of original work, See Me Now, has drawn praise for its “language of mellifluous beauty and ingenious pianistic understanding” and is due for release in early 2026.

Born on the Isle of Wight, Thomas’ musical spark was lit in the room under his grandparents’ stairs, playing keyboard games on the organ with his grandfather. He began piano lessons with Judith Harvey aged four, continuing studies with Eleanor Hodgkinson at the Junior Royal Academy of Music. He now studies with Vanessa Latarche at the Royal College of Music, receiving further mentorship from Alim Beisembayev, as the Margaret Mount Scholar supported by the Cotes-Burgan Scholarship.
