One of the most prominent pianists in the world, Nik Bärtsch, a music philosopher. Nik Bärtsch’s solo performance is a journey not only between the clarity of classical music and jazz improvisation, but also between the ancestral ritual harmony of Japanese sounds and modern minimalism. After listening to the works of this pianist, the public will not confuse them with anything else: their space is closed, the tension is constantly repetitive and infinitely slow, and the minimal improvisation, almost imperceptible, draws attention. The dialogue that the pianist invites to his concerts is not only a conversation between the creator and the listeners, but also a deep and exploratory look at himself. Nik’s musical work is edited by ECM Records, one of the most important labels in the Jazz edition worldwide.

Jorge Palma is a rare case in Portugal. Composer and performer admired by colleagues, loved by the public, too famous for the role of obscure genius, too genuine and rebellious to be a predictable and formatted musician. Throughout his career he released several albums of originals, composed hits and added gold records, having reached the double platinum mark with "Voo Nocturn". His work contains widely transverse songs with themes such as "Frágil", "Deixa-me Rir", "Dá-me Lume" or "Encosta-te-te-mim", which have become timeless hymns. Vicente Palma and Gabriel Gomes are the two musicians who accompany him in his acoustic format. Vicente appears on guitar, piano or vocals, accompanying Jorge Palma on some of the songs they have been playing together for over a decade. Gabriel Gomes offers the sound of his accordion to create truly intimate and special environments.
