A fly-on-the-wall documentary following pianist Igor Levit (who will appear at Princeton University Concerts on October 30 and November 3) from the final recordings of his Beethoven piano sonata cycle and into the beginning of Covid lockdown, when public music-making stopped and Levit gave a series of concerts from his apartment in Berlin. The film offers a fascinating look at the day-to-day life of a world-class artist: going from concert to studio to sleep, all the while feeding the social media beast, which will eventually turn into an important medium for Levit during Covid lockdown.

At a time when very few artists take a clear political stand, piano legend Igor Levit speaks out on social and political issues often – on his social media channels, as a frequent guest on prominent European talk shows, playing at the national convention in Germany, performing at demonstrations on behalf of social inclusion, protesting climate change at his concerts, dedicating his albums to social causes, playing living room concerts on Twitter, and more. His commitment to using his platform and artistry for the betterment of the world has earned him the International Beethoven Prize for Human Rights, Statue B of the International Auschwitz Committee, and Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany. This has also come at a cost — Levit has played under police protection after receiving antisemitic death threats. This artist is the epitome of a musician-activist, and this event will be a fascinating way to get to know him as an individual in a conversation permeated by live performance, moderated by award-winning international correspondent for National Public Radio, Deborah Amos.

Princeton University Concerts presents “Pianist and Advocate for Change”

Since making his Princeton University Concerts (PUC) debut seven years ago when he was just 24-years-old, British pianist Benjamin Grosvenor has firmly established himself as one of the most important pianists to emerge in several decades. The program that he brings for his long-awaited return is a testament to the jaw-dropping range of his virtuosity — the profound intimacy of Brahms’ Intermezzi Op. 117 and the passion of Robert Schumann’s great Fantasy in C Major Op. 17 (“perhaps the most impassioned music I have ever written,” in the composer’s own words) will culminate with Mussorgsky’s fiendishly difficult and imaginative Pictures at an Exhibition. As the bells of the Great Gate of Kiev sound in the work’s grand finale, you will hear for yourself why this poet of the piano was named one of the top 50 pianists ever on record by Gramophone in 2023.
