William Parker – Living Inside a Painting Hietsu is Happening!: William Parker, Hietsu Orchestra
Event Introduction
Avant-garde legend William Parker stars in the Hietsu is Happening! late-night club concert.
American bass player, composer and poet William Parker (b. 1952, Bronx, New York) is one of the most significant avant-garde and free jazz musicians of recent decades. He has performed with most of the leading figures in the field, collaborating closely with artists such as Cecil Taylor and Peter Brötzmann over many years. In New York, he has formed an entire music and arts community around him, most visibly through the Vision Festival, which he organises annually together with his wife, Patricia Nicholson. Parker, who celebrates his 75th birthday in 2027, now visits Finland for the first time since 2010.
At Hietsu is Happening!, Parker premieres his new work Living Inside of a Painting, together with Hietsu Orchestra.
Living inside of a painting is part of a process of sound, light, and movement. Called music, all the hues of silence. A musical composition for multiple improvisers.
