A new work for Igor Levit! The latest composition commission of the Heidelberger Frühling, sponsored by Dietrich Götze, has been awarded to the US composer and pianist William Bolcom, born in 1938.

The new work - William Bolcom's 2nd Piano Concerto - is dedicated to Igor Levit, who will also perform the solo part at the premiere in the auditorium of the New University of Heidelberg.
