twenty-one-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.’ 

Recent European concerti highlights include Luka’s British debut at the Royal Albert Hall with the Liverpool Philharmonic ; Polish debut with the Szczecin Philharmonic; French debut with the Orchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse; Italian debut with the Orchestra Filharmonica di Torino; Serbian debut with the Radio Television Serbia Symphony Orchestra at the Kolarac Hall in Belgrade and a North Macedonian debut with FAME'S European Orchestral Performing Institute. Luka’s Asian presence is also growing having collaborated recently with the Macao Orchestra and the Hong Kong Sinfonietta. Shortly upcoming is Luka’s Parisian orchestral debut with the Orchestre National d'Île-de-France.
