Da Vinci’s Dream - Musikfest Bremen

In the organizer's words:

Martynas Levicki's accordion

Program:
"Da Vinci's Dream": A journey through five centuries with music from the Renaissance, by Domenico Scarlatti, Johann Sebastian Bach, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Gustav Mahler, Zez Confrey, Arne Nordheim, Philip Glass and Martynas Levickis

The accordion is the "Instrument of the Year 2026". The young Lithuanian virtuoso Martynas Levickis is a true master on this instrument, which functions like an independent orchestra and is therefore a real sound chameleon. Levickis is a busy bridge-builder between styles and eras, emphasizing the musical openness and cultural diversity of his instrument. His program "Da Vinci's Dream" is inspired by the Italian polymath's drawing of an "organetto", a portable paper organ that anticipates the mechanics of the accordion, which was only invented at the beginning of the 19th century. From music from the Renaissance, Baroque and Viennese Classical periods to Gustav Mahler, Levickis spans the spectrum to the minimal music of Philip Glass and his own compositions inspired by Lithuanian folklore. He brilliantly demonstrates how the accordion moves between tradition and the present, effortlessly crossing stylistic boundaries and expressing both the intimate and the monumental - chapeau!
