Hailed as a “trailblazer” by Steinway & Sons, Thomas Luke was the keyboard category winner of BBC Young Musician 2020. Equally adept at performing traditional concert repertoire as well as his own arrangements and compositions, he has performed worldwide and appeared on national television and radio.

​​

With recent performances at venues such as Wigmore Hall (London, UK), the Weißes Haus (Leipzig, Germany), the Xiamen International Conference Centre Concert Hall (Xiamen, China) and the Van Cliburn Concert Hall (Fort Worth, USA), Thomas performs regularly as a recital and concerto soloist while maintaining a busy chamber music schedule. In 2023, he made history in collaboration with Steinway & Sons, performing the inaugural Steinway Spiriocast between two UK institutions.

​

In March 2024, Thomas launched his Many Pianos series, arranging, recording and producing covers for four (or more) pianos, which have amassed thousands of views online on his YouTube channel. His first project, Jacob Collier’s Little Blue, was successful enough to garner recognition from Collier himself. Amongst numerous competition successes, he was recently awarded the Prix Monti from the Piano Campus International Piano Competition 2025, and has been recognised by the Vienna International Music Competition for possessing "outstanding talent, a remarkable musicality and a very accomplished technique." In June 2024, Thomas was one of only 24 Young Artist Performers selected from around the world to attend the PianoTexas 2024 International Festival. He has participated in public lessons and masterclasses with such eminent pianists as Lang Lang, Arie Vardi, Emile Naoumoff and Steven Osborne.

 

Born on the Isle of Wight, Thomas began piano lessons at the age of four with Judith Harvey, before continuing his studies with Eleanor Hodgkinson at the Junior Royal Academy of Music in London at the age of 12. In 2022, he won a full scholarship to study at London’s illustrious Royal College of Music, where he is now a Margaret Mount Scholar. He studies piano with Professor Vanessa Latarche and regularly receives guidance from Alim Beisembayev.
