Viktor Lazarov is a young Canadian-Serbian pianist whose wide musical interests have lead him to perform a solo and chamber repertoire from the Baroque to the 21st century.

He is the recipient of several prizes including the Silver and Bronze medals at the Concours de Musique du Royaume (2017 & 2016), a graduate award from the OICRM (Observatoire interdisciplinaire de création et de recherche en musique) in 2017, and the prestigious SSHRC CGS Master’s award in 2014 for his research and performance of keyboard works by J.S. Bach.

Viktor has performed internationally in the New York City International Keyboard Institute and Festival, the University of Florida International Piano Festival and the Burgos Music Festival in Spain. His recordings have been broadcast in the USA and Serbia.

Continuously engaged in collaborations with contemporary composers, he has performed national and world premieres of solo and chamber works by Miodrag Lazarov Pashu, David Clay Mettens, and David Hier, among others.

In the 2017-2018 season, Viktor will present his most recent solo recital program, Sounds and Colours of the Balkans, in four different cities – Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Orford (Magog). He benefits from the advice and mentorship of Ana Sokolovic and Miodrag Lazarov Pashu in preparation for these recitals.

Viktor completed his B.Mus. studying with Prof. Marina Lomazov at the University of South Carolina. He pursued graduate studies at the Schulich School of Music of McGill University, earning a M.Mus. and a Graduate Diploma in Performance with Prof. Ilya Poletaev. Presently, he is pursuing a Phd in Musicology at the University of Montreal, studying in the Laboratoire de recherche sur le geste musicien under the supervision of Dr. Caroline Traube.
