On 23 September, marking the anniversary of John Coltrane's birth, we pay tribute to one of the greatest figures in the history of jazz. With pianist Carl-Henri Morisset, we revisit an iconic repertoire, bringing together essential compositions and improvisation inspired by Coltrane's world. A concert shaped by intensity, spirituality and musical freedom, at the Buffet Crampon showroom.
Oboé e Piano em Português is an artistic project dedicated to the creation, dissemination, and promotion of the Portuguese repertoire for oboe and piano. Launched in 2021, its mission is to champion contemporary Portuguese music through the commissioning of new pieces, world premieres, and creative collaborations between composers and performers. This performance pays tribute to the richness of Portuguese culture and to the role of music in shaping identity and critical thought. The programme presented is composed entirely of works by Portuguese composers. More than just a concert, Oboé e Piano em Português offers a dialogue between tradition and innovation, between artistic creation and the audience. Programme: Sete Retratos a Branco e Preto by Nuno da Rocha Canto I - in memoriam by Alfredo Teixeira Sonatina Breve para Oboé e Piano by Anne Victorino d'Almeida Duo David Costa and Pedro Ferro David Costa and Pedro Ferro have known each other since their years at the Escola de Música do Conservatório Nacional de Lisboa. Their friendship and shared passion for music gave rise to this project. They have performed together regularly since 2003, and their performances have earned critical acclaim for interpretations rich in emotion and marked by great technical and artistic execution. They have performed in Rome, the Azores, and in many cities across Portugal. In 2021, they released their first recording, "Cântico negro, oboé e piano em português," and in 2024 their second project, "Oboé e Piano em Português, Vol. 2," appeared, featuring pieces written exclusively by Portuguese composers.
