Michael shares, “It’s unbelievable–but the first Bridge & Wolak concert was almost exactly 10 years ago, on February 12, 2012! Starting in California, we’re launching into our 11th year with two major US tours this winter/spring. It’s been an incredible ride. We’ve toured in South America, Poland (3x), France, Ukraine, Czech Republic, across Canada, and in about 20 US states. We’ve played over 300 concerts, 50+ school shows, collaborated with amazing colleagues (notably: Guillaume Tardif on two European tours), given many masterclasses, and created the Bridge & Wolak Music Mentorship Program online for high-school musicians. We feel extremely lucky to get to work, travel, and support ourselves through performing music, and with a great friendship to boot!

It’s a privilege to get to make an impact and interact with many audiences and students, which in turn contributes to our personal growth and awareness. To us, the most important factor is that we constantly seek to improve ourselves, and we have a few announcements about this coming soon.”
