A concert that blends Henry Purcell's music with compositions by Caroline Shaw, Laura Marconi, and Meredi, in a program exploring nature and human emotions.

Full details

Synopsis Pre-concert talk at 7:30 PM. Purcell and Composers of the Present Sjaella Arias, choruses, and expressive preludes from Henry Purcell's semi-opera The Fairy Queen (1692) form a Baroque thread that runs through the program. Playfully, the music illustrates motifs from William Shakespeare's famous play A Midsummer Night's Dream: the nature and rivalry of the seasons, the contradictions of love, and the magic of the night. Alongside these works, compositions by Caroline Shaw, Laura Marconi, and Meredi appear, as well as Hypophysis, a collaboration between the ensemble Sjaella and artist Shara Nova. The concert finally settles into the nocturnal quiet with Purcell's serene Hush no more, be silent all. Between birdsong, summer night, longing, and silence, the program traverses Baroque imagination and contemporary perspectives on nature and human emotion.

Sinopse Conversa pré-concerto às 19h30. Purcell e as Compositoras do Presente Sjaella Árias, coros e prelúdios expressivos da semi-ópera The Fairy Queen (1692), de Henry Purcell, formam um fio barroco que percorre o programa. De forma lúdica, a música ilustra motivos da célebre peça A Midsummer Night’s Dream , de William Shakespeare: a natureza e a rivalidade das estações, as contradições do amor e a magia da noite. A par destas obras surgem composições das compositoras Caroline Shaw, Laura Marconi e Meredi, bem como Hypophysis , uma colaboração entre o ensemble Sjaella e a artista Shara Nova. O concerto instala-se finalmente na quietude noturna com o sereno Hush no more , be silent all , de Purcell. Entre canto dos pássaros, noite de verão, saudade e silêncio, o programa percorre a imaginação barroca e as perspetivas contemporâneas sobre a natureza e a emoção humana.
