DMITRI LEVKOVICH
Ukrainian-born Canadian pianist and composer Dmitri Levkovich’s performances were praised for “artistic sophistication far above the ordinary” (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung). Dmitri honed his skills on the piano under the guidance of Sergei Babayan for 11 years and in composition at the Curtis Institute of Music. He is the winner of more than 20 international piano competitions, including the Cleveland, German Piano Award, Gina Bachauer, Jose Iturbi and the Vendôme Prize. Dmitri has earned numerous ‘audience favorite’ awards and special prizes, notably for best performance of the works of Chopin.
The Lithuanian National Symphony Orchestra has performed his “Fantasie” for piano and orchestra, and his Piano Trio was performed at the prestigious Verbier Festival in Switzerland.
Do not miss this vANCOUVER debut of an artist who, in the words of legendary pianist and pedagogue Sergei Babayan, possesses “musical ability…as powerful and spontaneous as a force of nature.”

Here is a poet speaking. It’s all there with Levkovich: the grand gesture, the intensity, the storm, the sometimes pushed but excusable virtuosity, the sinister grim smile, the sweet eroticism, the quiet, sincere tenderness and heavenly filigree. And all rendered in a state of deep composure. (Jurjen Vis, The Pianist Magazine)
Levkovich cut an alternately haunting and gripping figure, demonstrating complete control and intuitive understanding no matter what the challenging score threw at him. (Zachary Lewis, Cleveland Plain Dealer)
