Piotr Lachert (5 September 1938 – 18 September 2018) was a Polish composer, pianist and teacher.[1]
Lachert lived and worked in Warsaw, Paris, Hannover, Brussels and in Pescara (Italy) and was a piano teacher in a conservatoire in Brussels, the Warsaw Music School and the Pescaran Academy of Music. Lachert directed numerous university masterclasses.
Originally a concert pianist, Lachert gained international recognition as a composer. He is regarded as one of the founders of the new consonant music movement.[2] In 1973, he founded TEMV! (Théâtre européen de musique vivante!) in Brussels, which he directed for twenty years and which had a significant influence on the direction of his catalogue.[2]
Lachert composed more than 200 works including concertos, sonatas, chamber music, works for the musical theatre and didactic music. His compositions include a ballet (Aroma Tre), and numerous volumes of piano pedagogy. His music has been published by Bärenreiter, Jobert, Alain Van Kerckhoven Éditeur, and Chiola Music Press.[2]
