A MIND IN THE HEART | JOANA GAMA | SEXTA MAIOR

Centro Cultural de Belém Belém · Lisbon

Pianist Joana Gama returns to solo recording with Ivan Vukosavljevic's 'a mind in the heart', a cycle of eight piano pieces inspired by the Orthodox Christian ethos and a sermon by Meister Eckhart, performed in the Sexta Maior series.

Full details

Synopsis a mind in the heart (TRPTK, 2026) marks Joana Gama's return to solo record releases, after Arcueil (2019). This time, the motivation came from an invitation by the Serbian composer Ivan Vukosavljevc. For Joana Gama, it was not hard to be convinced, since this piece has affinities with works by composers she has been performing in recent years, from Erik Satie to John Cage, also passing through Federico Mompou and Hans Otte. On the context of the composition, the composer says: 'These eight pieces became a growing companion in a chapter of my life marked by many profound transformations. A chapter that culminated in the most significant event of my life so far, the birth of my daughter.' Taking inspiration from the phrase that gives the cycle its title, and with some of the movements making reference to a sermon by Meister Eckhart, Vukosavljevic also drew on the Orthodox Christian ethos and the musical heritage that surrounds it. 'Joana Gama performs these pieces with enormous empathy, as if she were, herself, meditating. Her interpretation is transparent and contemplative; the recording, warm and spacious.'

Sinopse Uma mente no coração ( a mind in the heart - TRPTK, 2026) marca o regresso de Joana Gama à edição discográfica a solo, após Arcueil (2019). Desta vez, a motivação surgiu de um convite do compositor sérvio Ivan Vukosavljevc. Para Joana Gama, não foi difícil deixar-se convencer, uma vez que esta peça tem afinidades com as de compositores que tem interpretado nos últimos anos, desde Erik Satie a John Cage, passando também por Federico Mompou e Hans Otte. Sobre o contexto da composição, o compositor refere: «Estas oito peças tornaram-se uma companhia crescente num capítulo da minha vida marcado por muitas transformações profundas. Um capítulo que culminou no acontecimento mais significativo da minha vida até agora , o nascimento da minha filha.» Inspirando-se na frase que dá título ao ciclo , e com alguns dos andamentos a fazerem referência a um sermão de Meister Eckhart , Vukosavljevic inspirou-se também no ethos cristão ortodoxo e no património musical que o rodeia. «Joana Gama interpreta estas peças com enorme empatia, como se estivesse, ela própria, a meditar. A sua interpretação é transparente e contemplativa; a gravação, calorosa e ampla.» Thea Derks / Contemporary Classical Ficha Artística Piano Joana Gama Programa / Cartaz Ivan Vukosavljevic (1986) a mind in the heart (2025) 1. a mind in the heart 2. a citadel 3. ninia sili 4. an announcement 5. a virgin 6. a wife 7. for Nata 8. a child Preços Geral - 20€ Descontos Cartão CCB Desempregados Estudantes Grupos + 20PAX Maiores de 65 anos Menores de 30 anos Pessoa c/ Nec.
