Martynas Levickas, just 31 years old, is hardly tame in his temperament and yet has his instrument securely in hand. Wherever he appears, he becomes a crowd favorite. Through him, the accordion has become exciting again, even for young people. Undaunted, he surfs back and forth between the genres of folk, classical and jazz. He will bring folk songs from his Lithuanian homeland and landscapes of the Baltic to Liepe, the oldest church in Usedom, which is over eight hundred years old.
