Music for the Monastery of Santa Clara of Vila do Conde

10/07/2021 @ 16:30 - 18:30 WEST

Music for the Monastery of Santa Clara of Vila do Conde is an event that brings together the presentation of a book and a concert around the work “Miserere de Villa de Conde” written by António da Silva Leite (1759-1833) for the Monastery of Santa Clara of Vila do Conde.
The book Miserere de Villa de Conde is a critical edition prepared by Mafalda Nejmeddine, a harpsichordist and researcher who dedicated herself to the study of the musical manuscript and carried out research in the historical documentation of the Monastery of Santa Clara of Vila do Conde, now revealing unknown information about the musical activity of this monastery. The book will be presented by Dr. Pedro Junqueira Maia, composer and professor at the University of Minho.
This work from the heritage of Vila do Conde will have its modern premiere in a concert with six voices and two organs, which will later be performed with the interpretation of Marta Martins, Luísa Barriga, Paulina Sá Machado and Rita Morais (sopranos), Janete Costa Ruiz (alto), Bruno Pereira (bass), Fernando Miguel Jalôto and Mafalda Nejmeddine (organs), in which other works by António da Silva Leite and his Spanish contemporary António Soler can also be appreciated.
