Piano Nights with Rúben Alves

Friday Piano Nights - an intimate evening where timeless jazz melodies unfold at the piano, creating the perfect soundtrack to cocktails, conversation and late-night moments.

On this occasion, we invite pianist Rúben Alves who is a distinguished Portuguese pianist composer and educator, known for his technical prowess and interpretative sensitivity. Born in 1976, he began his musical studies at the age of five and started learning piano at eight. By 21, he had completed his general studies in music in Lisbon and later refined his jazz training in Barcelona, Spain. His music demonstrates a fusion of jazz, classical, and Portuguese influences, creating a unique and expressive sound.

Throughout his career, Ruben has explored various musical styles, blending elements of jazz, classical, and experimental genres while maintaining his distinct artistic signature. With a passion for innovation reflected not only in his performances but also in his compositions, he constantly seeks new sounds and creative expressions. He has released several jazz albums, including Clara Madrugada (2000), Súbito (2008), and in collaboration with Carlos Miguel and Miguel Amado, Kolme (2012), Kolme II (2016), and Kolme III (2022). Additionally, his work Lúmen (2007) revisits religious hymns, while O Mais Pequeno Espaço Apreciável de Tempo (2018) and Manto (2020) further showcase his compositional depth.
