Yoel Levi

Yoel Levi (Hebrew: יואל לוי, born 16 August 1950) is an Israeli musician and conductor.

Early life

Born in Romania, Levi grew up in Israel.

He studied at the Tel Aviv Academy of Music, receiving a Master of Arts degree with distinction. He continued studies at the Jerusalem Academy of Music with Mendi Rodan. He also studied with Franco Ferrara in Siena and Rome, with Kirill Kondrashin in the Netherlands, and at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London.

Career

Levi won first prize at the International Conductors Competition in Besançon in 1978. He spent six years with the Cleveland Orchestra, from 1978 to 1984, as assistant conductor to Lorin Maazel, and with the title of resident conductor from 1980 to 1984.[1] He became music director of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra in 1988 and held the post until 2000, when he was succeeded by Robert Spano. With the Atlanta Symphony, Levi made several commercial recordings for Telarc, including music of Samuel Barber,[2] Aaron Copland,[3] Miklos Rozsa,[4] Shostakovich,[5] and Mussorgsky.[6] Following his Atlanta music directorship, he held the title of music director emeritus of the Atlanta Symphony from 2000 to 2005.

Outside of the United States, Levi was Principal Conductor of the Brussels Philharmonic from 2001 to 2007. He became principal guest conductor of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra in 2001, the first Israeli with that title. Levi served as Principal Conductor of the Orchestre national d'Île-de-France from 2005 to 2012. In August 2013, Levi was named the next music director and principal conductor of the KBS Symphony Orchestra in South Korea, effective January 2014, with an initial contract of 2 years. He concluded his tenure in 2019.[7]

In 2021 he was appointed chief conductor and artistic advisor of The Haifa Symphony Orchestra.

Honors

In 1997, Levi was awarded an honorary Doctor of Fine Arts Degree by Oglethorpe University in Atlanta and also gave the commencement address.

In June 2001, he was named Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Government.[1]

Personal life

Levi and his wife Jackie Perelman have three sons: Eyal Levi, a musician with the death metal band DÅÅTH; Amir Levi, an actor and theater director; and Daniel Levi, a drummer.[1][8]
