Thomas Larcher (*1963 Innsbruck, Austria) was already well known as a pianist in the area of classical, primarily contemporary music, during his studies. In this capacity, he played with important orchestras and conductors such as Claudio Abbado, Pierre Boulez, Dennis Russell Davies and Franz Welser-Möst. His love of new music led him to found and manage the Klangspuren Festival (1994-2003) and the Musik im Riesen Festival (since 2004).
In the last few years Thomas Larcher has begun to place more emphasis on his role as a composer. Works have thus been composed for the London Sinfonietta, the Artemis Quartet, Heinrich Schiff, Matthias Goerne and Till Fellner, as well as works commissioned for, among others, the Lucerne Festival, the South Bank Centre in London, and the Zaterdagsmatineen (Saturday matinees) in Amsterdam.
Larcher's works appear on Schott Music. He records exclusively for ECM Records. His CD productions have been awarded numerous prizes (Choc de la musique, Deutscher Schallplattenpreis, etc.).
