Schumann, Mendelssohn and Liszt: Pianist Yoav Levanon makes his UK debut

The outstanding young Israeli pianist Yoav Levanon weaves together the passion of Robert Schumann and the elegance of Mendelssohn, alongside Liszt’s mighty B minor sonata in this thrilling solo recital.

Yoav Levanon’s UK debut features a captivating programme paying homage to several of the donors who made it possible to build the famous monument to Beethoven in Bonn: Schumann, Mendelssohn and Liszt. Illustrating his remarkable versatility and jaw-dropping virtuosity, Yoav brings his programme to a close with Gershwin’s jazz era-defining Rhapsody in Blue.

“An authentic musician, who has everything to become one of the major pianists of this century” (Diapason Magazine).
