Special Music Guests for tonight!
Come and vibe to the sound of Gui, a Portugal-based DJ and live performer who blends melodic techno with electric harp, drums, and live instruments. His immersive sets fuse rhythm and emotion, moving from deep, introspective soundscapes to vibrant, high-energy grooves — the perfect soundtrack to kick off an unforgettable week. Get a taste of what’s awaiting you: soundofgui.com
Our saxophonist tonight, Daniele dell’Erba, is a TEDx speaker, management consultant, and instructor at the Leadership Laboratory of the Portuguese Catholic University. In the quiet corners between his professional worlds, he taught himself the saxophone in his own unconventional way. His passion lives in improvisation and unscripted jamming, and his sound drifts through melodic currents drawn from every genre he touches. 🎷
