About

Israeli pianist Yoav Levanon first took the stage at age four, and his evident talents were quickly rewarded with international prizes and concerts in legendary halls—including a Carnegie Hall debut at seven! After training at the Jerusalem Music Center with Murray Perahia and at the Barenboim-Said Academy in Berlin with Sir András Schiff, Levanon gave his first solo recital at the 2019 Verbier Festival, broadcast to record numbers on medici.tv. Still just 19 in 2023, he headlines a sold-out event in the New Generation Piano Recital series at Paris's Fondation Louis Vuitton, performing virtuosic variations and etudes by the Schumanns, Clara and Robert, and Sergei Rachmaninov.
