Igor Levit at Carnegie Hall

In 23 weeks

See official site

Official site

Pianist Igor Levit plays two recitals on Carnegie Hall's main stage in one week — April 8 and April 10, 2027.

Levit is the rare pianist whose recitals feel like arguments — Beethoven, Shostakovich and Busoni delivered with intellectual heat. Two dates in one week usually means two different programs, so serious listeners can hear both. Carnegie's main hall is the acoustic he was made for. Levit's Carnegie appearances sell out well ahead, so book the moment tickets appear.

What to expect

A solo piano recital of roughly two hours with one intermission. Levit often speaks briefly from the stage.

Good to know

  • Two separate recitals: Apr 8 and Apr 10, each ticketed separately
  • Programs to be announced by Carnegie Hall
  • N/R/W to 57th St–7th Ave; Stern Auditorium entrance on 57th St
  • Cheapest seats are the balcony — the sound up there is excellent
  • Arrive 30 min early; bag check is slow on sold-out nights

Going? Keep it.

Common questions

Are the two programs the same?

Usually not — Levit tends to bring contrasting programs; check the hall's listing before choosing a night.

How long is the recital?

About two hours including intermission.
