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, which, interpreted by Levickis, will take on a new sound.

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

Having graduated from the Royal Academy of Music in London and “Musikene” in San Sebastián, the performer became the first accordionist to sign a contract with “Decca Classics” and reach number one on the UK classical music album sales chart. Having received more than 30 international awards, the musician now appears at major European festivals, collaborates with top-level musicians, and is welcomed on the most prestigious stages in the world.

In the summer of 2025, Levickis was invited to the famous “Rheingau Musik Festival” as a “focus artist” – an exclusive position. During the festival, Levickis revealed an innovative approach to accordion music and presented seven versatile programs, two of which, “Da Vinci’s Dream” and “Night at the Museum”, were conceived by him –  tickets to these performances sold out instantly. Performing the “Da Vinci’s Dream” program, Levickis played the organetto, an instrument made according to Da Vinci’s drawings. In 2026, he is invited to the festival once again. The musician also recently performed with electronic music star Philippe Cohen Solal from “Gotan Project”, violin virtuoso Daniel Hope, appeared at the famous “Wigmore” Hall with baritone Benjamin Appl, and recorded a song and music video together with British singer Katie Melua in Lithuania.

However, concert activity is only a part of Martynas Levickis’s broad creative field. He is the founder of the ensemble “Mikroorkéstra”, the initiator of international musical initiatives and residencies, teaches at the Royal Academy of Music, and consistently fosters the culture of the Baltic States. International recognition is also evidenced by the success of the album “Autograph” – for the album recorded at Paliesius Manor and released by “ACCENTUS Music”, Martynas was recognized as the best instrumentalist of 2023 at the prestigious “OPUS Klassik” awards.
