“At the age of 19, Israeli pianist Yoav Levanon already shows tremendous power and maturity”, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung commented on the young pianist’s impressive appearance with Frankfurt Radio Orchestra and Music Director Alain Altinoglu at the 2022 Europa Open Air in Frankfurt. Following debuts at Boulez-Saal Berlin, Amsterdam Concertgebouw and Menuhin Festival in Gstaad last season, in 2023/24 the exceptional young artist will be performing piano recitals at Tonhalle Zürich and Elbphilharmonie Hamburg. Orchestral engagements take him to the Lucerne Symphony Orchestra, Liepāja Symphony Orchestra, the Poznan Philharmonic Orchestra and the Orquesta de la Communidad de Madrid. Previous appearances include a solo performance in a “Piano Summit” presented by Martha Argerich at Schloss Elmau followed by a recital at the Piano aux Jacobins Festival in Toulouse and a recital at the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris. At the beginning of 2021, Yoav Levanon took part in a filmed project with Daniel Barenboim. His debut album A Monument for Beethoven with Warner Classics was released in May 2022.  Yoav Levanon first appeared on stage at the age of 4 and soon became a winner of his first National Piano Competition in Israel. He won his first Gold Medal at an International Piano Competition in the USA a year later and performed on the prestigious stage of Carnegie Hall in New York. Following his orchestral debut with the Israel Chamber Orchestra he went on to take part in the Tsinandali Festival, Georgia, where he played Mozart and Bach Concertos for Two Pianos and Orchestra with acclaimed pianist Sergei Babayan. During 2018 Yoav performed Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No. 2 with the Israel Philharmonic. In 2019, Yoav appeared as one of the youngest pianists ever in the festival history of the renowned Verbier Festival and was celebrated a “discovery”. Yoav Levanon was privileged to take part in the ‘Piano Program for Outstanding Young Pianists’ at the Jerusalem Music Center, working with the prestigious American concert pianist Murray Perahia as well as working under the guidance of distinguished pianist Sir András Schiff in his artist performance studio at the Barenboim-Said Academy in Berlin.
