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.

A show to see on 30 October at the Cultural Centre of Tábua in Coimbra.

Violinist Nuno Santos is a Portuguese musician and adventurer, known for playing violin in some of the most remote and extreme locations in the world. For over 15 years, Nuno has played his violin in some of the most challenging environments on the planet. From the highest mountains of the 7 continents to the highest waves of the 7 seas, "A Violin in the most unlikely places" is a project of cultural and natural exploration that has gained international notoriety for the unlikely concept of adventure, art & culture. It is a poetic and inspiring approach that contrasts the fragility of a violin with the hostility of extreme sea & mountain scenarios, translating, metaphorically, the balance between opposites.

The 'Concordis Quartet' presents a concert deeply inspired by Andalusian folklore, but without ever copying it, simply reinventing it with a matrix of rhythms and motifs singularly in the style of Joaquín Rodrigo. A show to meet on November 5 at 21:30

Gisela João reserved for the end of 2021 the two great shows in Lisbon and Porto to present the new songs of "Aurora", the disc he edited in April, under the unanimous applause of criticism. The concerts will take place on 5 November at the Lisbon Coliseum and 13 November at the Porto Ageas Coliseum. "Aurora" represents a new chapter in the career of Gisela João, for presenting essentially original songs and for being the album in which she debuted as a lyricist and songwriter, signing the production in partnership with Michael League, of the awardwinning Snarky Puppy, and Nic Hard, responsible for the surprising textures that surround their Fado in contemporary environments of unequivocal good taste. Singing not only as we expect her to sing but beyond everything we’ve heard so far, Gisela João live in the Colosseum is much more than a concert, Gisela João live in the Colosseum is an intense and vibrant experience that oscillates between pain and joy. It is life as it is, bluntly, only transcendence.
