Since his appearance in the American Piano Awards in 2021, Michael studied with Stanislav Ioudenitch at the International Center for Music at Park University where he earned his Artist Diploma.

Park U International Festival Performance

We had so much fun at the Park University International Festival yesterday evening! It was such an exciting time learning about and celebrating the cultures of Park University students from around the world! We also got to see an incredible performance from our very own Mardon Abdurakhmonov — an immensely talented Park ICM cellist. We were able to chat with him right before he took the stage! He performed Prelude of Suite No. 3 in C Major by J.S. Bach. We hope you were able to join us for this enriching festival, but if not, don’t worry! We have so many exciting things planned, and they’re coming up soon. Stay tuned so you don’t miss a thing! - #ParkICM #ParkProud #ParkU #InternationalFestival #InspiringMusicians #CampusEvents
