About the concert
Mike Parker's professional music career began at age 17 playing funk and rock concerts in New York City clubs. Since then he has toured all over Europe and America playing countless concerts and festivals from The Netherlands to Romania and New Orleans to Estonia.
He has recorded 4 albums of original compositions with critics describing his music as 'an ingenious synthesis of all musical genres' and a 'mix of post bop, indie rock, avant-garde and some inclinations for modern classical', with influences ranging from Led Zeppelin, John Coltrane and David Bowie to Thelonious Monk, Maurice Ravel, and A Tribe Called Quest.
For his newest project, Mike Parker Trio, he is joined by long-time collaborators Wojtek Lichtanksi on alto saxophone and Max Olszewski on drums. The trio performed throughout 2024 appearing on stage in Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Czechia, and Poland. Their repertoire includes mostly Parker's original compositions along with some by his favorite artists.
