ABOUT THE EVENT
Centered on String Quartet From Luís de Freitas Branco — an essential figure in Portuguese musical modernity, whose recently celebrated anniversary reinforces its relevance — this program evokes the spirit of Southern Europe at the dawn of the 20th century. In a period of profound political upheaval and idealistic transformations, music emerges as a space of resistance and continuity. In this context, and in resonance with the theme "Resurrection," the works summon ideas of permanence, renewal, and reinvention. In dialogue with the Portuguese composer, Giacomo Puccini appears, in the elegiac lyricism of ChrysanthemumJoaquín Turina, in the expressive interiority of The bullfighter's prayer; and Germaine Tailleferre, the only woman in the group Les Six, whose clear and innovative writing affirms a new musical sensibility. Between chronological affinities and resonances of language, a cohesive path is constructed where memory, permanence, and renewal intertwine, evoking transformation, continuity, and reinvention through music itself.
