30 MAY to 27 JUNE 2025
<\/strong>Almada, Portugal
<\/strong>Artistic Director: Filipe Pinto-Ribeiro<\/strong><\/p>


Capuchos Festival 2025
<\/strong>Between Worlds<\/em><\/p>

Welcome to\u00a0Capuchos Festival 2025<\/strong>!<\/p>

In its fifth consecutive edition since its revival in 2021, the Festival dos Capuchos<\/strong> presents the theme Between Worlds<\/em>, offering an artistic reflection on interculturality, diversity, fascination, and dialogue across multiple dimensions\u2014civilizational, temporal, and spiritual\u2014that intertwine and reveal themselves through Music, a universal language present in all societies.<\/p>

Between 30 May and 27 June<\/strong>, Almada once again becomes the stage for this major cultural event, bringing together artists of national and international renown. Concerts will take place at the Convento dos Capuchos<\/strong>, the spiritual heart of the Festival, as well as in other venues across the city, such as the Teatro Municipal Joaquim Benite<\/strong>, the Fernando Lopes-Gra\u00e7a Auditorium<\/strong>, and, for the first time, the Parque da Paz<\/strong>, which will host an open-air symphonic concert.<\/p>

Among the major highlights of this edition is the Portuguese debut of the Swedish Chamber Orchestra \u201cMusica Vitae\u201d<\/strong>, which will open the Festival with two concerts directed and led by the virtuoso Austrian violinist Benjamin Schmid<\/strong>. In the opening programme, works by Mozart<\/strong> and Tchaikovsky<\/strong> build bridges between traditions and geographies. In the second concert, Schmid presents his project Jazz Violin Concertos<\/strong>, which explores the fusion of classical composition and jazz improvisation, in an absolute premiere on Portuguese soil.<\/p>

The \u201cbetween worlds\u201d spirit continues with The Naghash Ensemble of Armenia<\/strong>, in a programme that blends medieval Armenian sacred music with contemporary influences, jazz, and post-minimalism. Another remarkable moment will be the concert \u201cThe History of Tango\u201d<\/strong>, led by bandoneonist Marcelo Nisinman<\/strong>, a direct disciple of Astor Piazzolla<\/strong>, in a tribute to the roots and evolution of Argentine tango.<\/p>

In the field of early music, the Festival presents two concerts of significant historical and poetic scope. \u201cA M\u00fasica da L\u00edrica Camoniana\u201d<\/strong>, performed by Concerto Atl\u00e2ntico<\/strong> under the direction of Pedro Caldeira Cabral<\/strong>, commemorates the 500th anniversary of the birth of Lu\u00eds de Cam\u00f5es, reviving Renaissance musical practices. Meanwhile, the Ensemble Barroco Tra Noi<\/strong> presents \u201cTelemann goes East\u201d<\/strong>, exploring the dialogue between German Baroque and the folk traditions of Eastern Europe.<\/p>

In the realm of contemporary music and musical thought, the centenary of Pierre Boulez<\/strong> will be commemorated with a recital by clarinetist J\u00e9r\u00f4me Comte<\/strong>, soloist of the Ensemble Intercontemporain of Paris, founded by Boulez himself in 1976. The program \u201cBoulez 100\u201d<\/strong> includes works by Boulez, Berio, Donatoni, Grisey, and Stravinsky, showcasing various languages of European musical modernity. Meanwhile, the concert \u201cNoite Transfigurada\u201d<\/strong> pays tribute to Daniel Barenboim<\/strong>, bringing together soloists from the Barenboim-Said Academy and the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra<\/strong>, performing works by Brahms<\/strong> and Sch\u00f6nberg<\/strong>, symbols of a transfigured and visionary Romanticism.<\/p>

The national presence is strongly felt with renowned names such as: the Orquestra Metropolitana de Lisboa<\/strong>, conducted by Pedro Neves<\/strong>, performing at the Parque da Paz the celebrated \u201cNew World\u201d Symphony<\/strong> by Dvo\u0159\u00e1k<\/strong>, along with works by Rossini<\/strong> and Brahms<\/strong>; the DSCH \u2013 Schostakovich Ensemble<\/strong>, presenting Dvo\u0159\u00e1k<\/strong>, Schubert<\/strong>, and the world premiere of a work by composer S\u00e9rgio Azevedo<\/strong>; the quintet 100 Caminhos<\/strong>, leading an original \u201cconcert-walk\u201d through the Convento dos Capuchos. Additionally, the Jo\u00e3o Barradas Trio<\/strong> will perform Aperture<\/strong>, a contemporary jazz project with a strong compositional component.<\/p>

In the field of piano, there will be two recitals: Dang Thai Son<\/strong>, the legendary winner of the Warsaw Chopin Competition, will perform a program focused on Chopin<\/strong> and Debussy<\/strong>; and I will pay tribute to the poetic and transcendental genius of Franz Liszt<\/strong>, on a journey through dream, love, and virtuosity.<\/p>

The Festival dos Capuchos is also a space for reflection and sharing. The Conversas dos Capuchos<\/strong>, curated by Carlos Vaz Marques<\/strong>, precede the Festival with three sessions dedicated to the centenary of Jos\u00e9 Cardoso Pires<\/strong>, the centenary of the publication of The Trial<\/em> by Franz Kafka<\/strong>, and a reflection on the Festival's very theme \u2013 Between Worlds<\/em>.<\/p>

Other parallel activities enrich the Festival: the Prel\u00fadios dos Capuchos<\/strong> \u2014 pre-concert talks moderated by Jo\u00e3o Almeida<\/strong>; the Caminhada dos Capuchos<\/strong> in the Protected Landscape of the Fossil Cliff of Costa da Caparica; the Guided Visit to the Convento dos Capuchos<\/strong>; and the Masterclasses dos Capuchos<\/strong>, with distinguished professors from the Universities of Salzburg, Oslo, and Lucerne.<\/p>

With special delight, we also present, for the first time, the initiative \u00d3pera para Crian\u00e7as<\/strong>, featuring performances of the opera Bastien et Bastienne<\/em> by Mozart<\/strong>, in a production directed by Ant\u00f3nio Wagner Diniz<\/strong>, aimed at Preschool and 1st Cycle audiences.<\/p>

The realization of the Festival dos Capuchos 2025<\/strong> is made possible thanks to the support, first and foremost, of the C\u00e2mara Municipal de Almada<\/strong>, the patron BPI\/Funda\u00e7\u00e3o \u201cla Caixa\u201d<\/strong>, and the Direc\u00e7\u00e3o-Geral das Artes<\/strong>. Our thanks also go to the partners Companhia de Teatro de Almada, \u00c2mbito Cultural do El Corte Ingl\u00e9s<\/strong>, and RTP Antena 2<\/strong>. A special word of recognition is due to His Excellency the President of the Republic<\/strong> for the High Patronage<\/strong> granted to the Festival.<\/p>

We invite you to journey with us through these sonic and symbolic \u201cworlds.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

May Music guide us, inspire us, and bring us together \u2013 between worlds<\/em> and beyond.<\/p>
