HOUSE CONCERT - IGOR LEVIT FLORIAN ZINNECKER GE...

Igor Levit ranks among the greatest pianists of his generation  described by The New York Times
as 'one of the essential artists of our time'. But his influence reaches far beyond music: he
uses his public platform to speak out against racism  antisemitism and all forms of intolerance
and prejudice. Convinced of the duty of the musician to remain an engaged citizen  he is
recognized and admired for his willingness to take a stand on some of the great issues of our
day  even though it has come at considerable personal cost. When the pandemic broke out and
Levit was unable to give live concerts  he switched his piano recitals from concert halls to
his living room and gained a huge international following. This book opens a window onto
Levit's life during the 2019-2020 concert season  charting the transition from his whirlwind
life of back-to-back live concerts in packed concert halls to the eerie stillness of lockdown
and the innovative series of house concerts livestreamed over Twitter. A year in which Levit
spoke out against hate and received death threats in response. A year in which he found his
voice and found himself - as an artist and as a person.
