He is also widely heard as a vocalist, often with his Ensemble Leones, which he founded in 2008. Lewon co-founded a training program in medieval music held at the Burg Fürsteneck Academy and became the professor of medieval and early modern lute instruments at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis in 2017. Lewon has issued six albums with Ensemble Leones, with several devoted to the prominent medieval Minnesinger Oswald von Wolkenstein, including 2021's Oswald von Wolkenstein: Lieder. He has not restricted himself to German repertory, also issuing albums devoted to Josquin, Alexander Agricola, and the Chansonnier Cordiforme. He has appeared on more than 50 albums released by various groups.
