Martynas Levickis

Accordion

The Lithuanian virtuoso accordionist has been hailed as the saviour of his instrument, credited with reinventing its genre. Referring to his instrument as "a box of magic tricks", Levickis conjures a range of sounds as enchanting as they are unexpected from his instrument. Recognised for his achievements with a range of international prizes and awards, Levickis has a busy career as a guest soloist with many of the world's leading orchestras and conductors. In parallel to his solo engagements, Levickis is an educator, promoter, conductor, and composer, committed to promoting music as an art form, and his beloved accordion in particular.
