Music Recital – Sonatas and Sonatinas / Portugal-Brazil

May 9 @ 19:00 - 20:00 WEST

Sonatas and Sonatinas / Portugal-Brazil is the result of a collaboration between the Lisbon Metropolitan Orchestra, the Centre for Studies in Sociology and Musical Aesthetics (CESEM) of the Faculty of Social and Human Sciences, and the Brazilian Embassy.

The combination of flute and piano is quite curious, the differences between the two instruments are so striking. The originality of the flute contrasts with the technical refinement and grandeur of the piano. Its apparent fragility unfolds into lyricism, ostentatious virtuosity, and even sombre registers. It also invites the piano to transfigure itself, from diffuse intimacy to symphonic apparatus. This combination has enchanted many composers. The Metropolitana Soloists bring together five of them in this programme: three Portuguese, a Brazilian born in Porto Alegre, and a Frenchman who lived in Rio de Janeiro for almost two years.
