Minneapolis-based saxophonist Peter Vircks is known for his distinctive and idiosyncratic musical style that melds contemporary innovation with deep-rooted traditions. Co-founding the celebrated electric jazz group Moveable Feast and leading both Midnight Love and the Peter Vircks Quartet, he has left an influential mark on the Minnesota jazz scene. Over his career, Peter has co-written and toured internationally with Rhythmic Circus Productions’ award winning Off-Broadway show "Feet Don't Fail Me Now" and performed with a vast array of musical acts. Peter's work is featured on over 50 albums, including his own 2014 release "What You Believe Is True," which earned a place in Minnesota Public Radio's top ten jazz favorites in 2014. His work spans not only albums but also television, independent film, and theater. His saxophone melodies will be featured on the upcoming Paramount Pictures horror/thriller "Apartment 7A," set to release in 2024.
