Let accordion star Martynas Levickis take you on a journey across the Atlantic and back to Europe. He shares Lithuanian roots with Aaron Copland and a fascination for jazz with George Gerswhin. The New York ensemble The Knights, led by brothers Colin and Eric Jacobsen, are the best possible partners for his musical journey to North America: just like Martynas Levickis, they love to mix classical music with folk and jazz elements and create exciting programs. At the center is Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, one of the first works to make jazz suitable for the concert hall. Today it is an absolute classic!
