Trio Nocturna 
Nocturna (‘of the night’) is the title of a fast milonga from the Argentinean tango repertoire. The music of Trio Nocturna is in an original way based on this repertoire. The trio consists of Charlotte Dupuis (voice, violin) Mirek Walton (guitar, piano) and Boris Franz (double bass). The repertoire of Trio Nocturna includes new arrangements of tango classics (e.g. of A. Piazzolla en S. Piana) and contemporary compositions by Mirek and Boris. The diversity of influences is audible on the debut album of the trio: Milonga del norte (February 2009). The members of the trio graduated from various conservatories and each has a diverse musical backround. Their strong musical connection comes forward in poetic, quite dance-able, joyous and melancholic tangomusic.
