In the 2025/26 season Levit performs in recital at the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, La Fenice Venice, Théâtre des Champs-Élysées Paris, and Palau de la Música Catalana Barcelona, as well as in Luxembourg, Milan, and Tokyo. In fall 2025, he presented four concerts to mark Shostakovich’s 50th memorial year at the Musikverein Wien. With five recital and chamber music performances, he helps to celebrate Wigmore Hall’s 125th anniversary season. To mark the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, he presents Beethoven’s Diabelli Variations and Frederic Rzewski’s The People United Will Never Be Defeated! for New York’s Carnegie Hall and Washington Performing Arts in early 2026. With the Budapest Festival Orchestra and Iván Fischer, Levit performs all Prokofiev concertos at the Philharmonie Berlin. Further highlights include a European tour with the Orchestra dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia and Daniel Harding, as well as concerts with the Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich and Paavo Järvi, the Vienna Philharmonic and Ádám Fischer, and the Staatskapelle Berlin and Christian Thielemann.

Igor Levit’s recordings for Sony Classical have been honored with countless awards, including four Opus Klassik Awards, Gramophone’s Artist of the Year 2020 Award, and Musical America’s Recording Artist of the Year 2020 as well as the 2022 Recording of the Year Award and Instrumental Award of BBC Music Magazine. His latest album, a live recording of the acclaimed piano concertos of Brahms with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra and Christian Thielemann, was awarded the Opus Klassik 2025 as Concert Recording of the Year.

Levit was the youngest participant in the 2005 Arthur Rubinstein International Competition in Tel Aviv, where he won silver, the special prize for chamber music, the audience prize, and the special prize for the best performance of contemporary pieces. In 2018, Levit was named the eighth recipient of the prestigious Gilmore Artist Award—conferred every four years to a classical pianist and recognized as the largest and one of the world’s most distinguished music awards.

For his political commitment, Levit was awarded the International Beethoven Prize in 2019 and the Statue B award, given by the International Auschwitz Committee in January 2020. His 53 Twitter live-streamed house concerts during the lockdown in spring 2020 garnered a worldwide audience, offering a sense of community and hope in a time of isolation and desperation. In October 2020, Levit was recognized with the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany. In Berlin, where he makes his home, Levit plays on a Steinway D Grand Piano kindly given to him by the Trustees of Independent Opera at Sadler’s Wells.
