Andreas Levisianos is a composer and performer from Samos Island, Greece. With a background in classical music and a strong focus on contemporary practices, his work explores the interrelation of analysis, synthesis, and performance through a conceptual and systemic lens.

As both conductor and pianist, Andreas has performed music from across the Western tradition, spanning orchestral, chamber, solo, and electroacoustic works. He served as music director and conductor of the annual Open Days festival organized by the Onassis Cultural Center in Athens, collaborating with members of Greece’s major orchestras and internationally acclaimed guest artists. He has conducted ensembles and orchestras including the Harry Partch Ensemble, Orquestra da Costa Atlântica, Philharmonic Ploiești, Stara Zagora Opera, Joseph Haydn Symphony Orchestra, London Classical Soloists, Ergon Ensemble, and Ensemble Continuum.

In the U.S., he conducted for the Jacaranda Concert Series in Los Angeles and participated in the Noon to Midnight marathon at Walt Disney Concert Hall, organized by the LA Philharmonic. Other notable appearances include the Hear Now Festival, assistant conductor for the Pulitzer Prize-finalist opera Invisible Cities, and curating and conducting a portrait concert of Jani Christou at REDCAT in Los Angeles.

Andreas has received international recognition, including second prize at the Wiener Schule Conducting Competition in Vienna—where he performed at the Musikverein—and third prize at the Orquestra da Costa Atlântica International Conducting Competition in Portugal.

As a composer, Andreas writes for a wide range of acoustic and electronic forces, often collaborating with choreographers, directors, and visual artists in interdisciplinary contexts. Highlights include his Radioptical Opera Medea (aejaa, 2021), a remote performance uniting musicians, dancers, and actors across four countries; his original musical theatre work thalassa quarry at the Kinono Festival; participation in Tectonics Athens (2019); and a five-hour installation/performance for Art Night London (2018), in collaboration with Nikolas Ventourakis and funded by the British Arts Council. Additional projects include a radio-theatre piece with Niko Palamare and the Onassis Cultural Center, and performances at festivals such as Neapolis (Berlin), Fringe (Edinburgh), Tethering (Los Angeles), Reconnect, SEAMUS (Miami), and at CalArts. His music for the feature film In a Fishbowl (dir. Konstantinos Fragoulis) earned him the “Best Original Score” award at the 7th International Film Festival Anatomy. He is the co-founder and artistic director of aejaa, an online performance platform focused on remote collaboration.

Currently based in London, Andreas also works with Universal Music Group as Director of Media Information.

He holds a Doctor of Musical Arts in Performance–Composition from the California Institute of the Arts, a dual Master’s in Composition and Conducting from the University of Oklahoma, a Bachelor’s degree in Musicology from the University of Athens, and a Piano Diploma from the National Conservatory of Greece.

His mentors include David Rosenboom, Michael Pisaro, and Anargyros Deniosos (composition, analysis, musicology); Konstantinos Karathanasis and Marvin Lamb (composition); Jonathan Shames and Raphael Pylarinos (conducting); Leonidas Kanaris and Giorgos Papadopoulos (theory); and Vicki Ray, Elena Mouzalas, and Eleftheria Zouridou (piano).
