Overneath Studios of Kalamazoo recently described Helen Lukan's piano artistry in these words: "From playing with symphonies across the region, to solo recitals and collaborations with Western Michigan University (WMU), Helen's name is synonymous with exquisite piano-craft."  A Chicago native, Helen has long been highly regarded as a versatile collaborative pianist in the Midwest, and is gaining national notice as a respected collaborator. ​

​While she has vast experience accompanying a diverse range of soloists, performing music in every genre, Helen has an affinity for the brass repertoire, notably the trumpet, having worked with trumpeters Mary Bowden, Dr. Stephen Jones, Rex Richardson, Michael Sachs, and WMU Professors Scott Thornburg and Dr. Robert White.
