From May 2008 to June 2009, Lev traveled through Israel, Jordan, Egypt, and India playing music in the street and collaborating with Klezmer bands, Arab and Indian musicians. He also went by train from Istanbul to Amsterdam to Rome in 2005, playing and learning music in each city along the way. In 2006, he recorded his first solo album: Bach's D minor Violin Partita, at Kuklis Studios in Brooklyn. In addition to performing, Lev has been teaching private lessons for seven years, and is currently teaching keyboard and guitar classes at P.S. 188 and violin classes at East Village Community School, both in Lower Manhattan.
