The Lithuanian accordion superstar Martynas Levickis transcends entrenched conventions and clichés as an international figure on the classical music scene. He is characterised by his extraordinary ability to keep his finger on the pulse – and not just in music. In addition to his internationally acclaimed virtuosity, he is a visionary: preserving as well as reinterpreting the accordion and its traditions.

During his studies at the Royal Academy of Music in London, he won the television programme ›Lithuania´s Got Talent‹ (2010) and, later the same year, the Coupe Mondial. This was followed by his debut album ›Martynas‹ on decca and, in 2023, he won the OPUS KLASSIK as ›Instrumentalist of the Year‹ for his album ›Autograph‹ (accentus). Engagements have taken him from Asia to Europe and the USA. He takes great pleasure in working with musical partners such as Iveta Apkalna, Benjamin Appl, Andris Nelsons, the Deutsche Kammer­philharmonie Bremen, the Academy of St Martin in the Fields and the Stuttgart Kammer Orchester. He regularly fills stadiums in the Baltic States with his very own Mikroorkéstra.

The ARTE film ›Martynas Levickis und das Akkordeon‹ was broadcast in 2024.

Audiences were treated to a sensation when he wowed them at the Deutsche Kammer­philharmonie Bremen’s open-air summer festival ›Summer in Lesmona‹.
