On September 22, 1767, Fr. José Maurício Nunes Garcia (1767-1830) was born, the one who would become the most important Brazilian composer in activity in the early 1800s. His performance as Mestre Capela of the Royal / Imperial Chapel of Rio de Janeiro would also make him one of the most influential figures in the Portuguese-Brazilian music scene of those days. Bearing this in mind, Caravelas (Research Center for the History of Luso-Brazilian Music – CESEM – Universidade Nova de Lisboa), through the Caravelas Brasil Pole (Research Group of PPGM-UFRJ), will hold a Symposium in celebration of the 250th anniversary of the composer’s birth.a
The event is carried out by the Research Group “Polo Caravelas Brasil” of the Postgraduate Program in Music at UFRJ in partnership with Caravelas – Center for Studies in the History of Luso-Brazilian Music – at CESEM, at Universidade Nova de Lisboa. The event will last for two days, 22 and 23 September 2017, taking place at the School of Music of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. Its organization includes conferences, round tables, communication presentations and a commemorative concert.
The main objective of the congress is to offer a space for academic debates on the figure and work of the Brazilian composer Fr. José Maurício Nunes Garcia, making a critical assessment of his role within the history of Luso-Brazilian music and disseminating the results of the latest research pertinent to the theme.
