Lucas started playing the piano at 5 years old alongside his two brother Levon and Aram. Lucas really found himself spending all his time at the piano while recovering from knee surgery when he was 13 years old. Now, he is the assistant conductor of his school’s orchestra and regularly performs for prospective students and at his school shows as a soloist.
Watch Lucas Raffy Karamanoukian perform Ballde No. 3 by Frederic Chopin on the piano for the 2026 Summer Music Competition as part of the Charleston International Music Competition.
