He has performed internationally at major venues such as MÜPA Budapest, Wiener Konzerthaus, Konserthuset Stockholm, Philharmonie Luxembourg, and L’Auditori Barcelona, as well as at festivals including the Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival, Klavier-Festival Ruhr, Heidelberger Frühling, and Sommerliche Musiktage Hitzacker, among others. His performances have been featured in live broadcasts on national and international radio. As a passionate chamber musician, he collaborates regularly with bassoonist Mathis Stier and has appeared with him in recitals organized by the European Concert Hall Organization. Recent appearances include invitations to perform with the Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra under conductor James Kahane and a memorial recital for Alcides Lanza at McGill University. He has commissioned acoustic and electroacoustic works from composers in Germany, Poland, the United Kingdom, and Canada. A laureate of the Nachwuchsförderpreis NRW (2017) and scholarship holder of the German Music Competition (2018), Schepansky studied with Claudia Buder, completed his Bachelor’s degree with Mie Miki, and spent a year of study with Geir Draugsvoll. He completed his Master’s degree—cited as exceptional—in 2025 at the Université de Montréal under Joseph Petric, supported by a scholarship from Deutsche Stiftung Musikleben, and will continue with his doctoral studies. An accomplished jazz pianist and composer, he continues to study privately with New York–based pianist Glenn Zaleski. He was invited to take part in programs such as Canada’s Lunenburg Academy of Performing Arts and the Canadian Career Development Performance Apprenticeship (CDPA). His current artistic interests include progressive jazz and musicological research on facsimile manuscripts of J.S. Bach, Domenico Scarlatti, and C.P.E. Bach. Hailing from Germany, he is based in Montreal and maintains an active career across Europe and North America.
