Martynas Levickis will perform a concert entitled “Da Vinci’s Dream” at the Jesuit Church in Segura De La Sierra, Jaén, Spain on May 17th, 2026 from, 5pm.

His program includes music by Scarlatti, J.S. Bach, Mozart, Mahler, and Glass, among others.

“From the visionary drawings of Leonardo da Vinci to the soundscapes of the 21st century, the accordion embarks on a journey that defies time, borders and conventions. Da Vinci’s Dream is more than a concert: it is a celebration of the accordion’s hidden heritage and its uncanny adaptability, tracing its spiritual lineage back to the 16th century.”

“Inspired by the drawing of Da Vinci’s organetto – a portable Renaissance paper organ that evokes the mechanics and soul of the modern accordion – this program traces more than five centuries of music and reveals the extraordinary ability of the instrument to express both the intimate and the monumental.”

“The program includes surprises from the Renaissance, as well as music by J. S. Bach, Domenico Scarlatti and W. A. Mozart, masters of the Baroque and Classicism whose works transcend the keyboard and find new life in the soundscape of the accordion. The powerful lyricism of the instrument is also displayed in the expressive universe of Gustav Mahler and his famous Adagietto from Symphony No. 5.”

“Following this timeline, contemporary works from the 20th and 21st centuries push the instrument to its limits, exploring textures and rhythms of our time. The end of the evening features original compositions rooted in and inspired by folk traditions: music that connects with the cultural pulse of the accordion and, at the same time, sounds new.”

“Da Vinci’s Dream invites you to rediscover the accordion: not only as a popular or classical instrument, but as a bridge between centuries, capable of transporting both the whisper of the past and the urgency of the present. Let your imagination travel, as Da Vinci did, into a world where invention and expression meet.”
