Today we are excited to present two of the most exciting young artists from Hamburg: on October 6th, pianist Levi Schechtmann and violinist David Wurm will bring selected works by Edvard Grieg, Prokofiev, and Rachmaninoff to the Small Hall of the Elbphilharmonie.

Levi Schechtmann started playing the piano at the age of 7 and shortly after participated in various competitions in Hamburg. He has received numerous awards, including prizes at the Grand Prix of the International Feurich Competition in Vienna in 2016 & 2017, as well as being awarded 1st Prize at the 2nd German-Chinese Piano Competition. In August 2023, he also received the prestigious Dr. Eva Maria Zbick Förderpreis. Currently, Levi Schechtmann is studying at the University of Music and Theater Hamburg in the class of concert pianist & professor Anna Vinnitskaya. Since 2023, he has been a Bechstein Ambassador and regularly collaborates with the instrument manufacturer. The young piano artist already has over 400,000 followers on Instagram, and his reinterpretations of classical music regularly reach millions of views.

Born in 2000 in Hamburg, David Wurm has already performed solo in renowned concert halls such as the Elbphilharmonie and the CCH Hamburg. Since June 2022, he has taken on the role of concertmaster and project manager at the Albert Schweitzer Youth Orchestra. Here, he combines artistic direction with organizational tasks and youth promotion. He also performs as a soloist with his orchestra.

David completed his Bachelor's degree at the University of Music and Performing Arts Hamburg in February 2024, where he studied with Prof. Christoph Schickedanz. He has been awarded multiple times, including a first prize at the Federal Competition Youth Musiziert Violin Solo. David has also participated in various recording projects, including one with NDR 90.3 in 2014 and a CD production in 2023. He was also a juror at the 60th State Competition Youth Musiziert in Hamburg in March 2023.
Levi Schechtmann and David Wurm have been playing together as a duo since 2014 - their performance on October 6th is undoubtedly their biggest joint performance and highlights the special connection between the two musicians.
