Martynas Levickis and Baritone Benjamin Appl perform an eclectic repertoire of songs
Wigmore Hall, Wigmore Street, London – Monday 15th September 2025 at 19.30
Benajmin Appl’s eclectic selection of songs travels from the emotional hothouse of fin-de-siècle Vienna to the cultural crucibles of Paris and Berlin, before crossing the Atlantic to explore a new world of creative possibilities, embracing everything from the folk sentiments of Copland’s Old American Songs to the seductive sounds of Cole Porter. Mix that with accordionists Martynas Levickis’s superb playing and magic happens.
