Agnė Radzevičiutė and Dmitri Levkovich – piano

One piano and two pianists: a special collaboration.

The musical literature for four hands at one piano invites increased levels of intimacy between the performers and the instrument. In a diverse and captivating programme of solo and duo repertoire, husband-and-wife pianists Dmitri Levkovich and Agnė Radzevičiutė will showcase the wide spectrum of musical artistry of which one piano and two pianists are capable. In this piano extravaganza, these brilliant musicians will present works by Chopin, Schubert, Liszt, Prokofiev, Schulz-Evler, Mozart, Rachmaninoff, and Mendelssohn. The programme is titled after Schubert’s Allegro in A Minor ‘Lebensstürme’, D. 947, one of the composer’s most imposing sonata movements.
