He is Faculty at the Piano School of New York City since 2005.

Sebastián is a true musician, he breathes and experiences every single emotion, of true love, drama, passion, desperation, beauty and darkness. Living music with every key stroke is an experience of monumental inner impact, only at reach for the daring soul and the truly talented soloist. This is a great opportunity to hear him, getting lost in the world of invigorating ideas and emotional virtuosity that has made Sebastián Forster one of the outstanding interpreters of the classical repertoire currently working on the world stage today.
