Martynas Levickis. Solo | Additional Concert

After four years, accordionist Martynas Levickis returns to Paliesius Manor! The concert program will feature works by Mozart, Mahler, Piazzolla, and Glass—music from different eras that, interpreted by Levickis, will take on an entirely new sound.

Martynas Levickis is a world-renowned performer who continually pushes the boundaries of the accordion’s capabilities. He is celebrated for his ability to weave together classical, tango, and electronic music, often performing in unconventional spaces. The newspaper “The Independent” described the musician as an “amazingly talented man who has single-handedly reinvented the accordion.”

A graduate of the Royal Academy of Music in London and Musikene in San Sebastián, the performer became the first accordionist to sign with Decca Classics and reach number one on the United Kingdom’s classical music album chart. Having garnered more than 30 international awards, the musician now appears at major European festivals, collaborates with top-tier musicians, and is a welcomed guest on the world’s most prestigious stages.

In the summer of 2025, Levickis was invited to the renowned Rheingau Musik Festival as a “fokus artist”—an exclusive position. During the festival, Levickis revealed an innovative approach to accordion music and presented seven diverse programs. Two of these, “Da Vinčio sapnas” and “Naktis muziejuje”, were conceived by the artist himself, and tickets to these performances sold out in an instant. Performing the “Da Vinčio sapnas” program, Levickis played the organetto, an instrument built according to Da Vinci’s drawings. He has been invited to the festival once again in 2026. The musician has also recently performed with electronic music star Philippe Cohen Solal from Gotan Project and violin virtuoso Daniel Hope, appeared at the famous Wigmore Hall with baritone Benjamin Appl, and recorded a song and music video in Lithuania with British singer Katie Melua.

Yet, concert performances are merely one part of Martynas Levickis’s broad creative landscape. He is the founder of the Mikroorkéstra ensemble, the creator of international musical initiatives and residencies, a teacher at the Royal Academy of Music, and a dedicated ambassador who consistently nurtures Baltic culture. His international acclaim is further evidenced by the success of his album “Autograph”—recorded at Paliesius Manor and released by ACCENTUS Music, the album earned Martynas the title of best instrumentalist of 2023 at the prestigious OPUS Klassik awards.
