Yoav Levanon

Biography (read more)

Yoav Levanon is an Israeli pianist born in 2004, who began playing piano at age three and gave his first public performance at four, going on to win his first international piano competition gold medal in the United States and to perform at Carnegie Hall by age seven. Since age eleven he has studied with pianist Murray Perahia at the Jerusalem Music Center, and he made his debut with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra at age thirteen.

Signed to Warner Classics, Levanon released his debut album in May 2022, drawing attention as one of the most closely watched young pianists of his generation while resisting the “child prodigy” label in favor of being judged as a mature artist. His technical assurance in virtuoso repertoire, including Liszt’s Transcendental Études, has drawn comparisons to established concert pianists twice his age, and he continues to build an international touring and recording career.
