Laucke's international career, now spanning 50 years in 25countries, averages 150concerts a season.〔〔 He was given "full recognition as the person who has done more for the guitar in this country than anyone else" by the Canadian federal and provincial governments.〔 In 1971, following the first of his many concerts at the National Gallery of Art, ''The Washington Post'' proclaimed that Laucke displayed "the highest form of virtuosity".〔 In 1982, he was selected by Segovia to perform for the PBS network at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, after which he became Segovia's pupil.
He has studied with classical guitar masters Andrés Segovia, Julian Bream, and Rolando Valdès-Blain. He shared a loft in New York City in the early 1970s with Paco de Lucía, a master Spanish guitarist who introduced Laucke to flamenco.〔〔 Laucke has broadened the repertoire of the guitar with over 100transcriptions and twenty-five Canadian composers have written atonal works for him, including a flamenco concierto for guitar with full symphonic orchestra. He has recorded sixteen albums. In 2015, Laucke was nominated for the Order of Canada Lifetime Achievement Award, which is his country's second highest civilian honor. During his half century career he has received many other awards and honors, including the ''Grand Prix du Disque'' for the Best Canadian Recording.
== Early life ==
Laucke was born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada on 29January1947. His parents, who were of Russian and Polish-Jewish heritage, separated when Michael was 6months old. He was then raised and nurtured by his grandmother, who died at the age of 100. At seven years of age, Laucke appeared in the ''Montreal Star'' newspaper for the first time for designing and building a boat from 2000 toothpicks.〔 An expert with the Yo-yo by age ten, he soon discovered that he loved performing and competition.〔〔 He became the Montreal champion in a city-wide Yo-yo competition among 2000contestants, winning a C$60bicycle.〔 By the age of thirteen he was a competent snooker player. He also became interested in the guitar.
Because of his brother's disapproval, he would practice guitar in the homes of friends, telling his parents he was doing homework. Later, as a young adult he became a contender on the professional snooker circuit when he defeated North American champion George Chenier.〔〔 Thanks to his prowess with the cue stick, Laucke obtained a job as a demonstrator for the Brunswick Corporation, a snooker table manufacturer. This allowed him to finance 110 trips to New York City to study the guitar with Rolando Valdès-Blain. As Laucke's skill with the guitar grew, he had to make a career decision, and at the age of eighteen he chose the guitar over snooker.〔
