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 Michał
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. :)
You are right. Jelonek is one of the most impressive and talented Polish musicians. His music is different from commercialism of our times. I took part in his concert during the Woodstock Festival in 2008 and it was really a pleasure for me ;).
