PIANO RECITAL - Beethoven, Mozart and Chopin Sunday 26 April 2026, 17:00 at St. John’s Church Territet

Sophie Leacacos, of Russian and Welsh descent, began her musical studies at the age of 4 with pianist and composer LaSalle Spier (then aged 60), her sole professor of piano. She gave her first public recital at the age of 15, at the prestigious Phillips Gallery in Washington, D.C. As a classical interpreter, Mme Leacacos is the inheritor of the most distinguished European musical tradition: LaSalle Spier was a student of pianist and composer Rafael Joseffy, himself a student of Franz Liszt.

Mme. Leacacos taught at Wesleyan University (Connecticut) and at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she was awarded a doctoral fellowship in musicology and philosophy. In association with the Cleveland Orchestra and the Cleveland Institute of Music, she was the organizer and first executive director of the Robert Casadesus International Piano Competition, now known as the Cleveland Competition.

From 2006 to 2015 Mme Leacacos lived in Shanghai, China, where she gave masterclasses for Steinway and Fazioli, as well as concerts to raise money for the foundation Heart to Heart Shanghai.

A Swiss citizen, Mme Leacacos has given many public conerts for the benefit of Swiss charities, and continues to teach piano privately.
