Dejan Lazic is quickly establishing a reputation worldwide as “a brilliant pianist and gifted musician” (Gramophone). The New York Times hailed his performance as “full of poetic, shapely phrasing and vivid dynamic effects that made this music sound fresh, spontaneous and impassioned”. In spring 2008 he gave his debut at New York's Lincoln Center with Budapest Festival Orchestra and Iván Fischer, as well as at London's Royal Festival Hall with London Philharmonic Orchestra and Kirill Petrenko.
Other orchestral engagements include the Philharmonia Orchestra London with Vladimir Ashkenazy, Bamberg Symphony with Jonathan Nott, Swedish Radio Symphony, The Hague Residentie Orkest, Rotterdam and Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestras, Atlanta, Indianapolis, and Seattle Symphonies, Camerata Salzburg, and tours with the Australian and Basel Chamber Orchestras. He is appearing in recital at New York's Lincoln Center, Amsterdam Concertgebouw, Beijing Forbidden City Concert Hall, and Gstaad Menuhin Festival.
From the 2008/09 season he will be "artist in residence" with the Netherlands Chamber Orchestra. He has a growing following in the Far East where he returns for engagements with the Seoul Philharmonic, Yomiuri Nippon and Sapporo Symphony Orchestras. Dejan records exclusively for Channel Classics and has released a large number of CDs. His latest release features Rachmaninov's 2nd piano concerto with London Philharmonic/Kirill Petrenko and "Moments Musicaux".
