4th Edition | 2024
<\/b>1 > 12 OCT 2024
<\/strong>Bragan\u00e7a – Portugal<\/strong><\/p>

In this year of 2024<\/strong>, marking the 50th anniversary of April 25th<\/strong>, the Bragan\u00e7a ClassicFest International Music Festival<\/strong> continues its mission of democratic access to artistic excellence<\/strong>. Since 2021, it has brought to Bragan\u00e7a renowned orchestras and musicians \u2013 such as the Vienna and St. Petersburg Chamber Orchestras, the Asturias Symphony Orchestra, violinists Esther Hoppe, Mario Hossen, and Diana Tischenko, singers Lena Belkina and Julia Muzychenko, violist G\u00e9rard Causs\u00e9, clarinetist Pascal Moragu\u00e8s, among many other distinguished artists \u2013 for memorable concerts sold out by an enthusiastic and multigenerational audience.<\/p>

Starting on October 1st, World Music Day, and continuing for two weeks, the 4th CLASSICFEST transforms Bragan\u00e7a into the epicenter of classical music in Portugal<\/strong>, with an eclectic and captivating program that promotes the celebration of community life through the universal language of Music.<\/p>

Among the artists and ensembles featured in this 4th edition<\/strong>, two exceptional performers stand out right from the Opening Concert<\/strong>: the Samuil sisters \u2013 soprano Anna and violinist Tatiana \u2013 both highly awarded soloists in the world\u2019s leading international competitions, who come to Bragan\u00e7a to present, in its Portuguese premiere, their latest recording project, \u201cIl Mondo Felice<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>

Other highlights of the 4th BRAGAN\u00c7A CLASSICFEST<\/strong> program are the concerts by two internationally renowned orchestras:<\/p>

The Paris Symphony Orchestra \u201cConsuelo\u201d<\/strong>, one of the most audacious orchestral projects of recent years, will perform Ludwig van Beethoven\u2019s extraordinary Symphonies No. 6 and 8 on October 5th, thus continuing the Complete Beethoven Symphonies at BRAGAN\u00c7A CLASSICFEST<\/strong>, which began in 2023 with the 5th Symphony by the Asturias Symphony Orchestra.<\/p>

At the Closing Concert on October 12th, the Venice Baroque Orchestra \u201cI Solisti Veneti\u201d<\/strong>, founded in 1959 and regarded as one of the most prestigious baroque orchestras of recent decades \u2013 with an extraordinary career of over 6,000 concerts in around 90 countries, and approximately 350 albums recorded for leading labels \u2013 will present a concert entirely devoted to the music of the famous Venetian composer Antonio Vivaldi<\/strong>.<\/p>

This 4th edition will also be marked by the celebration of the 500th anniversary of the birth of Lu\u00eds Vaz de Cam\u00f5es<\/strong>, with a diptych of concerts dedicated to the greatest poet of the Portuguese language, performed by leading ensembles, namely the Concerto Atl\u00e2ntico<\/strong>, conducted by its founder Pedro Caldeira Cabral, and Sete L\u00e1grimas<\/strong>, under the direction of Filipe Faria and S\u00e9rgio Peixoto.<\/p>

It is also worth highlighting the staging of tribute concerts honoring two major figures of Portuguese culture in recent decades:<\/p>

Ant\u00f3nio Victorino d\u2019Almeida<\/strong>, whose 70-year career we celebrate in the presence of the composer and pianist himself, in a Carte Blanche concert featuring several guest artists.<\/p>

Ant\u00f3nio Mega Ferreira<\/strong>, whose literary work will be evoked through the performance of music he favored, notably the famous cycle Pictures at an Exhibition<\/em>, accompanied by readings by Pedro Lamares<\/strong> and Filipa Leal<\/strong> from an anthology of texts specially selected for this tribute by Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa<\/strong>, Gra\u00e7a Morais<\/strong>, Simonetta Luz Afonso<\/strong>, Guilherme d\u2019Oliveira Martins<\/strong>, Margarida Pinto Correia<\/strong>, among others.<\/p>

And, last but not least<\/em>, special mention goes to the concerts by the Schostakovich and Juventus Ensembles<\/strong>, featuring both renowned musicians and young talents, performing works by great composers: from Mendelssohn to Dvo\u0159\u00e1k<\/strong>, from Beethoven to Shostakovich<\/strong>.<\/p>

Alongside the nine concerts of this 4th edition, the BRAGAN\u00c7A CLASSICFEST<\/strong> continues its important educational and cultural awareness mission<\/strong>, offering masterclasses and meetings<\/strong> with participating artists, specially aimed at musicians and students from the city and the surrounding region.<\/p>

An important hallmark of the BRAGAN\u00c7A CLASSICFEST<\/strong>, since its first edition, is the presentation of concerts in venues of great heritage value. In 2024, this takes place in the Churches of S\u00e3o Francisco and Santa Maria, creating a meaningful intersection between Music and the Historical, Cultural, and Architectural Heritage<\/strong> of the Bragan\u00e7a region.<\/p>

This 4th edition thus continues the path of consolidating BRAGAN\u00c7A CLASSICFEST<\/strong> as a cultural event of excellence, both nationally and internationally<\/strong>, contributing to the dynamism and prosperity of the region.<\/p>

Our heartfelt thanks go to all those who make the BRAGAN\u00c7A CLASSICFEST International Music Festival<\/strong> possible, starting with the essential support of the Bragan\u00e7a City Council<\/strong>, the Bragan\u00e7a Municipal Theatre<\/strong>, and the DSCH Musical Association<\/strong>, promoters and organizers of this commendable initiative, as well as the festival\u2019s patron, BPI\/Funda\u00e7\u00e3o \u201cla Caixa\u201d<\/strong>. We also extend our gratitude to the Directorate-General for the Arts<\/strong>, the Diocese of Miranda-Bragan\u00e7a<\/strong>, media partner RTP Antena 2<\/strong>, and, especially, His Excellency the President of the Republic<\/strong>, for the High Patronage<\/strong> graciously granted once again.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>
