Jelonek

May was the month of students' festivals called Juwenalia. It was a great opportunity to participate in some amazing concerts.
During the festival organized by the Poznan University of Technology, I took part in the concert of MichaƂ Jelonek. It was one of the best concerts I have ever been to. For this reason, I decided to write something about Jelonek and his music, which I really enjoy.

He is a Polish composer, also known as Jelonek, who specializes in violin. In his compositions combines different music genres like for example classical music, rock, pop, heavy metal, folk or even hard rock. It's an interesting combination, isn't it?
He released his first solo album in 2007 and he was formerly known as a member of a band called Hunter. He has performed over 1600 concerts in many different places in the world.
There are no lyrics in his pieces of music. You are in some way forced to listen to the instruments to discover what is the song about and what it means to you, how it makes you feel.
Here is one of my favorite compositions By the way, it sounds even better live than on album. :)
