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" -- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Pianists $z Germany. 650 0 $a COVID-19 Pandemic, 2020- 700 1 $a Zinnecker, Florian, $d 1984- $e author. 700 1 $a Whiteside, Shaun, $e translator. $1 https://isni.org/isni/0000000109557217. 941 $a 1 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20230603010449.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FD5F484AEA4011EDA3E935F65AECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
