Justin Luchinski began his career in early music performance in Montréal while completing his Bachelor’s and Master of Music degrees at McGill University. During this time, he was a regular rehearsal keyboardist for Opera McGill’s baroque opera productions and performed extensively in concerts, recording projects, the Montréal Baroque Festival, and on tour with the early music ensemble Les Méandres, including a cross-Canada tour.
Since returning to Calgary in 2020, Justin has performed regularly with the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra and has appeared as both a soloist and collaborator with organizations including the National Music Centre. He performs regularly with Early Music Voices, String Theory Music Collective, Rosa Barocca, and Luminous Voices, and was featured as a soloist in CBC’s Instrumental Stories concert series. He is also active at the University of Calgary as a historical keyboard coach and harpsichord technician.
As a technician, Justin has studied with British Columbia–based harpsichord builder Craig Tomlinson.
Deeply committed to early music education and outreach, Justin leads the creation of free educational concerts in partnership with the Calgary Public Library. He also serves as Co-Artistic Director of the Chamber Muse Historical Music Society of Calgary.
