Peter Levitov

American improviser, educator and sound practitioner whose handpan work draws on contemplative traditions, experimentation and community-centred musical exploration.

Peter Levitov is an American experimental multi-instrumentalist, improvisational composer and educator whose work explores sound as a means of attention and connection. His practice has been influenced by Tibetan, Sufi and Indigenous healing traditions, while remaining rooted in personal improvisation rather than the reproduction of any one ceremonial form. Through Handpan 360, he has created learning and community spaces where players can approach the instrument through listening, experimentation and shared experience. His performances often develop as spacious soundscapes, combining handpan with other acoustic colours and allowing texture to evolve gradually. Workshops and gatherings are an important part of his activity, with emphasis placed on curiosity, presence and individual discovery. His profile fits listeners and learners drawn to contemplative music, collaborative exploration and non-competitive musical environments.
