Eclectic

When music, stories, and flavors meet

The Eclectic Evenings are a collection of evening and night experiences designed for people who enjoy music, conversation, discovery, and the pleasure of sharing special moments in a welcoming and elegant setting, and, like all Eclectic experiences, adaptable for corporate events.

eclectic evenings

These are themed experiences where music becomes the common thread of a journey that integrates cocktails, gastronomy, storytelling, ambiance, and participation, creating a unique atmosphere for each proposal.

They are not conventional concerts, nor are they simple after-work events, tastings, or dance sessions.

Each Eclectic Evening revolves around its own universe: a city, an era, a musical style, a character, a story, or an inspiring idea. Thus, one night can transport us to Jane Birkin and Françoise Hardy’s Paris, to a milonga in Buenos Aires, to Cole Porter’s New York, to the Jazz of film noir, to the sensuality of Bossa Nova, or to the mysterious world of Tarot.

An experience to be savored without rush

Eclectic Evenings are designed for the audience to relax, converse, listen, taste, discover, and often, participate. In some formats, music is experienced up close in an intimate concert; in others, dance takes center stage thanks to the accompaniment of instructors who invite attendees to naturally let themselves be carried away by the rhythm without prior knowledge.

Our aim is to revive a more human and unhurried way of interacting, where culture and leisure are not separate concepts, but parts of the same experience.
