Musical Saturdays with Steven Luksan [online]

As we are not currently able to physically get together for social events, but want to keep our community engaged, curious, and connected, the Alliance Française de Seattle is launching a new musical program in collaboration with Steven Luksan and the Music Center of the Northwest.

Meet us every Saturday at 10am on our Facebook page to watch and listen to a piano interpretation by Steven Luksan; this is an exciting way to discover new musical pieces and composers linked to the Francophone world!

This program is free and will be available on our Facebook page as well as our YouTube channel. You can make a donation below (100% of proceeds will go to the artist).

Steven Luksan

Steven Luksan is a Seattle-based composer and pianist. He received a master’s degree in music composition from the University of British Columbia and bachelor’s degrees in music and Norwegian from the University of Washington. He is the founder and artistic director of the Saltwater Music Series (Des Moines, Washington), a concert series dedicated to performances of local and off-the-beaten-path chamber music. 

Influenced by folk traditions, jazz, minimalism, and the music of his favorite composers from the early 20th century, Steven's compositions comprise pieces for solo piano, chamber music including viola, oboe, or flute, and many art songs. They have been performed throughout the USA, as well as in Canada, Norway, Spain, and Taiwan.

Steven is currently on the faculty of the Music Center of the Northwest, where he serves as a piano instructor and the staff accompanist. He is also the pianist for the French Chorale of the Alliance Française de Seattle, accompanies at Seattle Opera and Shoreline Community College, and is a board member and outreach pianist for the Northwest Edvard Grieg Society.
