Career

Hasler first grew up in Kraubath an der Mur and then moved with his parents at elementary school age to Gaishorn am See in Upper Styria .

Two years later another parish was added, where he not only worked as an organist, but also led the church choir at the age of 14.

During his school days in the Admont Abbey High School , Hasler received a broad musical education. He took saxophone lessons, performed with the school's big band and gained conducting skills through his participation in the school choir. At the age of 16, his musical training took him to the organ preparatory class at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Graz .

After graduating from high school, Lukas Hasler began studying the organ concert subject at the Graz University of Art and graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in June 2019. In addition, he took part in several master classes, among others with Jean Guillou , Ton Koopman , Ludger Lohmann and Skip Sempé. Parallel to his studies in Graz, he studied culture and media management at the University of Hamburg and in the meantime lived in New York , where he completed an internship at the Austrian Cultural Forum (ACF) . In 2019 he completed this course with a master’s degree.

Hasler lives in Graz .
