Lumière

Lumière—an engaging new album from Mira Opalińska and Douglas Whates. With a lightness of touch and a darkness of sound, the piano and bass duo improvise on their unique arrangements of works by classic film and world cinema composers.

Lumière - CD Launch

CD Launch for our debut album "Lumière” will take place at Filharmonia Podkarpacka in Rzeszów on the 21st of March 2012.

After the concert together with our Sponsor "Niebieskie Migdały" we inviting you for sweet afterparty at the lobby.

Shrine

On my quartet's recent trip to Nigeria, we had a chance to visit Lagos's famous "Shrine"—a sort of Afrobeat Mecca! Although it wasn't really a main concert night, we were lucky enough to meet Femi Kuti backstage and also see him perform with his youth "training" band. Amazing musicians and amazing atmosphere. Unforgettable night!

Thanks to Douglas for the photos!
