Peter Bence
Peter Bence is a world-renowned Hungarian pianist, composer and producer who has received numerous awards. Known for his percussive, spectacular and expressive style, he pushes the boundaries between classical and contemporary music, transforming the piano into a true orchestra. Trained in Hungary and later at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, where he notably studied film scoring, he developed a distinctive musical approach influenced by many genres.
In 2012, he entered the Guinness World Records for the most piano key hits in one minute (765). His videos have now accumulated more than 2.5 billion views and have earned him a vast global fanbase. Admired by artists such as David Foster, Hans Zimmer and David Paich, Peter Bence performs to sold-out audiences in more than 55 countries, in prestigious venues such as the Sydney Opera House, the London Palladium and the Grand Rex in Paris.
His first album The Awesome Piano (2020) topped the iTunes charts, while Pianosphere (2023) launched a new world tour. In 2025, he began a collaboration with Disney with the EP Disney Halloween: Thrilling Piano.
Le Sinfonietta de Lausanne
The Sinfonietta de Lausanne stands out for its distinctive artistic and educational vision, its original repertoire, and its relaxed approach to classical performance. From 2026, its musical direction is entrusted to Lucie Leguay.
The orchestra gives around forty performances each season, including a subscription concert series, and collaborates with choirs, festivals and institutions throughout the region, such as HEMU, the Lausanne Opera, EVL and the Montreux Jazz Festival.
The orchestra offers young graduates their first professional position and welcomes HEMU students, supporting them throughout their training. As a highly regarded springboard for young musicians, it enables many of them to build a valuable professional network.
Committed to social inclusion, the Sinfonietta reaches out to people with disabilities and audiences who may otherwise have limited access to cultural events. It also runs educational outreach programmes in schools, reaching nearly 1,300 pupils every year.
