Beethoven, Ives and Brahms: Igor Levit, piano

About the Event

Experience the talent of the young Russian‐German pianist, Igor Levit, performing Beethoven, Ives and Brahms at the Palace of the Arts in Budapest.

Born in 1987, Igor Levit is among the very best pianists performing today. Both the soloist and the conductor performing this evening are very familiar to the Müpa Budapest audience, even though they have never appeared here together before.

Igor Levit was born in Nizhny Novgorod in 1987, but settled in Germany with his family in 1995. He followed up his studies at Salzburg's Mozarteum at the Hanover University of Music, Drama and Media. He has performed at numerous concerts internationally, including in Athens, Hamamatsu, Tel Aviv and Bad Kissingen.

Now well into his seventies, the Los Angeles‐born Michael Tilson Thomas, who is known to the world as a superb interpreter of the works of Mahler and of modern American music, as well as for his work as an enthusiastic apostle of musical education, will be be putting his skill on display with the clear tones and pastoral sound of Brahms's Symphony No. 2.
