About
The multi-talented musician and recipient of the Sir Samuel Griffith Scholarship, Luke Hammer, realised his passion for music at a young age after discovering the exhilaration of performing for other people. He has since demonstrated success in multiple musical disciplines, including violin, composition and singing. He has had the privilege of performing in the Australian Youth Orchestra, appearing as a bass soloist in Handel’s Messiah and hosting his own concert featuring an original composition, Sinfonia for Strings.
While completing his Bachelor of Music degree at the Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University and attending music camps, Luke has performed in various prestigious venues, including the Queensland Performing Arts Concert Hall and the Sydney Opera House. Guided by leading Australian pedagogue Associate Professor Michele Walsh, Luke has played with numerous chamber ensembles, including the Fiddlesticks string quartet, which was broadcasted on popular radio station 4MBS classic FM after winning runner-up prize in the Ross Peters 4MBS Chamber Music Competition. His more recent accomplishments include a performance of Prokofiev’s second violin concerto with the Conservatorium Symphony Orchestra.
