The Conductor:

Parijat Moumon is a multifaceted artist known for his dynamic presence in the realms of jazz guitar, composition, and education. His music effortlessly presents traditional jazz language with contemporary soundscapes, rhythmic complexities, and global influences.

He was born in Bangladesh in a family of musicians. In his young age he was very fascinated by Flamenco which brought him later to study under virtuoso guitarist Paco Peña at Codarts, Conservatory of Rotterdam (NL). Later he found a keen interest for Jazz and developed further sense. Eventually he went to study Jazz guitar and graduated from Hochschule für Musik Mainz (DE).

Resonating with a deep sense of love, peace, and spiritual quest, his music invites audiences on a journey of exploration, transcending cultural boundaries to uncover the common threads that unite us all.
