About the Event
He is someone who has courage, who stands up for values and always sets himself great goals — as a person and as a musician. Igor Levit gave his first solo concert at the age of four. Since then, he has not only had an impressive international career on the piano, but also a unique commitment against extremism and anti‐Semitism, for which he was awarded the German National Prize this year. For Levit, it is almost a duty to articulate himself politically as a musician in these times: “I don't just want to be the man who presses the keys,” he postulates (Die Zeit).
But the 37‐year‐old also articulates himself excellently on those keys: The New York Times describes Igor Levit as one of the “most important artists of his generation”, the Süddeutsche Zeitung as a “stroke of luck” for today's concert scene. In April, the cosmopolitan returns to the Berlin Philharmonie — together with Renaud Capuçon and Julia Hagen and Brahms' piano trios.
