Teatro TEMPO, Portimão
On February 16, 2024, the Svetlana Bakushina Fusion Project launched its Portuguese tour with a sold-out concert at Teatro TEMPO – Teatro Municipal de Portimão. This intimate chamber setting provided the perfect stage for the group’s debut performance in its new lineup. The concert was held with the support of the Portimão City Hall and marked an exciting beginning to the tour.
A New Beginning
This concert was particularly special as it was the first time the project performed with its current ensemble. The combination of fresh energy and close collaboration brought a dynamic and engaging musical experience to the audience.
The Core Ensemble
The performance featured Svetlana Bakushina on digital piano, Seibas Gamboa on cello, and Jorge Carrilho on drums.
A Warm Connection with the Audience
What made this night truly unique was the mood in the room. The concert was filled with humor and joyful interaction, as the musicians exchanged light-hearted remarks with the audience between pieces. This created a warm, friendly atmosphere that turned the evening into more than just a concert—it became a shared experience of laughter, connection, and celebration.
A Promising Start
The full house, the enthusiastic response, and the unforgettable ambiance all pointed to a strong and inspiring start to the tour. Teatro TEMPO’s cozy environment and engaged audience made it the ideal place to begin the tour.
