Matthew Lochner is a Johns Hopkins University freshman,
majoring in Philosophy. Mr. Lochner grew up in Los Angeles, California,
and he began studying the piano at the age of 8 with Linda Buck, who
taught him to love collaborating through music. Recently, he has performed
the Beethoven Third and Fourth Concertos and the Schumann Concerto with
orchestra under the baton of Maestra Hannah Oh and members of the
Los Angeles Symphonic Camerata. Also an avid chamber pianist, Mr. Lochner
developed a love for chamber music while attending the Kinhaven School
of Music in Weston, Vermont. This semester he founded the JHU Chamber
Music Seminar, bringing chamber groups together to perform for and give
feedback to one another in the hopes of fostering an intimate community
for chamber musicians on the Homewood campus. He has recently participated
in master classes with pianists Robert Edward Thies and Chad Bowles.
Currently, Mr. Lochner studies at the Peabody Conservatory with
Sheng-Yuan Kuan.
