Artist Biography
Accordionist Martynas Levickis was the first player of his instrument to top Britain's Classical Albums sales chart and the first signed to the venerable Decca label. He gained wide exposure as a youthful winner on the Lithuania's Got Talent television program. Levickis has performed widely, making appearances with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and the Lithuanian Chamber Orchestra, among other groups. His solo recitals have taken him to such prestigious venues as the Wigmore Hall in London and the Gangdong Arts Center in South Korea. Levickis is a favorite of festival audiences. In 2014, he founded the Palendriai Festival in Lithuania, which has the goal of generating new music for accordion and chamber ensemble. Levickis released the album Martynas in 2013 and returned in 2021 with an album of music by Astor Piazzolla.
