___________________________________________________________________________________________ Saturday, November 2, 2024, 1:00 PM Princeton Garden Theatre: 160 Nassau St | Princeton, NJ 08542 General: $14 | Garden Theatre Members & PUC Deluxe Subscribers: $12 | Students: $9 Igor Levit is like no other pianist." Alex Ross, The New Yorker About the Event: A fly-on-the-wall documentary following pianist Igor Levit (who will appear at Princeton University Concerts on October 30 and November 3) from the final recordings of his Beethoven piano sonata cycle and into the beginning of Covid lockdown, when public music-making stopped and Levit gave a series of concerts from his apartment in Berlin. The film offers a fascinating look at the day-to-day life of a world-class artist: going from concert to studio to sleep, all the while feeding the social media beast, which will eventually turn into an important medium for Levit during Covid lockdown.
