L.u.m.e. at Handelsbeurs Concert Hall

About

The Lisbon Underground Music Ensemble (L.U.M.E.) is a project created and led by the composer Marco Barroso. The fifteen piece group, composed by some of the most experienced Portuguese musicians - on jazz and classical music - is inspired by the tradition of the Big band model, but updates it’s speech in an intelligent, ironic and skilful fashion. L.U.M.E.‘s music combines written composition with improvisation, and reaches from funk to textural music, from boogie woogie to impressionist environments, with a Zappian twist!
