Levitsky’s research focuses on medieval vernacular song, particularly troubadour lyric poetry. Her book project Sound(ing) Bodies: Song and Materiality in Troubadour Lyric Poetry (Liverpool University Press) examines troubadour texts through twelfth-century natural philosophy, while her second project Singing in the Reign explores thirteenth-century Occitan song’s role in political geography. She also investigates medievalisms in heavy metal and contributes to Bloomsbury Cultural History of Music.
Her publications span journals like Mediaevalia and The Medieval Review, with a focus on Occitan grammar, gender, and manuscript studies. Recent projects include Puzzles of Parchment (2019), analyzing NYPL’s medieval musical fragments.
As a performer, Levitsky co-founded Fractio Modi and has collaborated with the Troubadours Art Ensemble, GHOSTLIGHT Chorus, and The Australian Voices. Notable performances include concerts with the Rolling Stones in 2013 and medieval polyphony recitals at Columbia University.
She currently supervises PhD projects on topics such as Monophonic Byzantine Chant in Australia and Self-Production as a Creative Practice, and directs UQ’s Early Music Performance Program.
