🎻 A Supermarket Serenade: 13-Year-Old Lucas Chiche’s Vivaldi Performance Stuns Shoppers

In an unexpected twist of events, 13-year-old pianist Lucas Chiche transformed an ordinary supermarket visit into an extraordinary musical experience. While two professional violinists were improvising in the aisles, Lucas approached them with a bold request: “May I play Vivaldi with you?” Despite the complexity of Vivaldi’s compositions, the musicians agreed, and what followed was nothing short of magical.

Lucas’s fingers danced across the piano keys with a mastery that belied his age, delivering a rendition of Vivaldi’s work that captivated everyone present. Shoppers paused their routines, drawn in by the harmonious blend of piano and violins echoing through the store. The impromptu performance culminated in a resounding round of applause, and the moment quickly went viral, amassing over 23 million views within two days.

This wasn’t Lucas’s first brush with musical acclaim. His impressive résumé includes victories in prestigious competitions such as the Rondo International Competition (2019 and 2020), the London Young Musician (2022), the SJMW Swiss Competition (2021), and the Geneva Baroque Competition (2023). In 2024, his talent earned him an invitation to perform at the Salle Cortot of the École Normale de Musique in Paris after receiving the Prix Spécial from the Grand Piano Competition judges.

Lucas has graced renowned stages worldwide, including the Tchaikovsky Hall in Moscow, Carnegie Hall in New York, and Victoria Hall in Geneva. He has collaborated with esteemed orchestras under the baton of Maestro Vladimir Spivakov, such as the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, the CMG Symphony Orchestra, the Moscow Virtuosi, Divertimento, and the Svetlanov Orchestra. His artistry has been further honed through masterclasses with luminaries like Mikhail Marchenko, Nelson Goerner, and Elisabeth Leonskaja.
