Concert: Matosinhos String Quartet

Concert next Saturday, at 6:30pm, at Museu da Memória de Matosinhos


The Matosinhos String Quartet will perform next Saturday, March 25, at 18h30, at MuMMa - Museu da Memória de Matosinhos, for a concert included in the classical music season of the Municipality of Matosinhos for 2023.

In 2023 we will once again offer an extensive program dedicated to the dissemination of classical music, in alternative spaces such as MuMMa - Museu da Memória de Matosinhos, the Gardens of the Quinta de Santiago Museum, or the Studio of the Matosinhos Jazz Orchestra.

The "Music in Matosinhos" program begins this weekend with the performance of the String Quartet, who will also present the CD - RAIZES, in a clear contribution to the conservation of Portuguese musical heritage.

This year we intend to raise the bar of the "Music in Matosinhos" program in an innovative perspective, calling upon some of the most relevant names on the national and international scene, presenting a cycle of music for piano and string quartet under the name of Quintets for Piano. In this cycle we will hear six unavoidable works from the history of Western music for this type of instrumental formation. It will be a sublime moment with the presentation of works by some of the most important Portuguese and foreign composers.

Free admission. Limited to the capacity of the space.

Program:

. Eurico Carrapatoso (1962) - Llaços, contradanças e descantes (2016), for string quartet;

. Sérgio Azevedo (1968) - Popularuskia - 3 pieces for string quartet (2017);

. Telmo Marques (1963) - Ilhas Afortunadas (2016), for string quartet;

. Fernando Lapa (1950) - Suite Mirandesa, version for string quartet (2017);

. Release of the CD RAIZES - Música de Câmara Portuguesa, by the Matosinhos String Quartet.
