"Pascal and I were born in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg into families of musicians and actors, immersing us in a rich musical environment from an early age. We both pursued classical percussion studies; while Pascal went on to become a musician, my passion shifted towards artist management and music production.
Pascal and I first crossed paths in 2004 at a music workshop at the Luxembourg Music Conservatory. At the time, Pascal was embarking on his professional career, while I was searching for an artist whose music truly resonated with me. His music did just that, encouraging me to support him, engage myself in his work, and cultivate both a friendship and a shared vision of bringing his talent to a wider audience. Today, Pascal is a highly acclaimed musician and composer, actively recording and touring, while his success as a bandleader has earned him some of the most prestigious honors.
Together, we find joy in embracing new challenges and exploring diverse artistic expressions. Our passion for music is something we wish to share with our audience, promoters, fellow artists, friends and our families.
In 2008, we founded Monday Night Productions to bring our ideas to life."
Musically yours,
Rafael Junker

GLASS TWO
On Friday 8th November 2024, Danae Dörken and Pascal Schumacher presented their debut duo album, GLASS TWO, at the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg and at the same time released the new album on Neue Meister (EDEL KULTUR). The album was produced by Monday Night Productions.
This album pays homage to the iconic American minimalist composer Philip Glass, capturing his spirit through a series of dynamic and intimate reinterpretations. The music reflects both artists' shared passion for Glass's work and invites listeners into a nuanced exploration of his legacy, blending vibraphone and piano in an evocative dialogue.
Listen and enjoy to the full album on SPOTIFY or on any other platforms!

SINGULAR
When Pascal Schumacher, Edward Perraud, and Sebastian Studnitzky first crossed paths during an artist residency program in Dudelange (Luxembourg), they never expected that their collaboration would yield such remarkable results. As they began to play together, an inexplicable magic happened - a seamless interplay of musical ideas, where everything fit perfectly and the creative flow was completely synchronized. What sets the three musicians apart is their versatility and their willingness to experiment with different styles and techniques. They are equally at home with acoustic and electronic instruments, and they perform without stylistic restrictions. This allows them to create music that is truly unique, blending elements of jazz, classical, and electronic music into a seamless whole.
