BIOGRAPHY

Anyone interested in music made in Austria has probably heard him play in one way or another already. Be it at a concert with Alicia Edelweiss, the Nino aus Wien or Soap&Skin, on a record by Oska or Wanda, at the Volkstheater Vienna, at a performance by Gelatin or from the speakers in the cinema. Lukas Lauermann, “the most versatile and productive cellist in the country” (Der Standard), is not only a sought-after fellow musician.

He is also very successful on the road solo: from Popfest Vienna, to the Banksy Hotel in Betlehem, on to Beijing, to the rock club in Seattle. Cello with FX/Electronics – “Sounds from a distant world, a concentrate of the most beautiful possible”, as the Falter wrote in its annual charts.
