29 MAY to 21 JUNE 2024
<\/strong>Almada, Portugal
<\/strong>Artistic Director: Filipe Pinto-Ribeiro<\/strong><\/p>


Capuchos Festival 2024
<\/strong><\/p>

Welcome to the 2024 edition of the Capuchos Music Festival!<\/p>

In this year of 2024, in which we celebrate the 50th anniversary of April 25th<\/strong>, the Capuchos Music Festival<\/strong> is inspired by the idea(s) of Freedom throughout the History of Music.<\/p>

Between May 29 and June 21<\/strong>, the Capuchos Music Festival will bring to Almada nationally and internationally renowned musicians and orchestras for a series of unmissable concerts, at the venue that gives the Festival its name, the Convento dos Capuchos<\/strong>, as well as at the Teatro Municipal Joaquim Benite<\/strong> and, for the first time, at the Audit\u00f3rio Fernando Lopes-Gra\u00e7a<\/strong>.<\/p>

Renowned artists and ensembles will be present, including, from the outset, the Portuguese premiere of one of the most daring orchestral projects of recent years, the Orquestra Sinf\u00f3nica de Paris \u201cConsuelo\u201d<\/strong>, which, under the direction of Victor-Julien Laferri\u00e8re<\/strong>, will open the festival with Beethoven\u2019s 5th Symphony<\/strong>, an indisputable masterpiece and a powerful evocation of the struggle against adversity and the triumph of Freedom.<\/p>

Also noteworthy are the Portuguese premieres of other ensembles at the forefront of European musical innovation, such as the Paganini Ensemble of Vienna<\/strong> and the Berlin Chamber Orchestra \u201cMetamorphosen\u201d<\/strong>, under the direction of Wolfgang Emanuel Schmidt<\/strong>.<\/p>

Among the prominent international soloists featured in this edition, special attention goes to the legendary pianist Elisabeth Leonskaja<\/strong>, the German violinist Carolin Widmann<\/strong>, the Swiss cellist Christian Polt\u00e9ra<\/strong>, and the young Ukrainian pianist Roman Fediurko<\/strong>, winner of the prestigious 2023 Horowitz International Competition, who will perform works by Chopin<\/strong> in what will be his debut recital in Portugal.<\/p>

The national presence will be represented by leading ensembles, including the Renaissance ensemble Arte Minima<\/strong> and the Schostakovich Ensemble<\/strong>, as well as musicians such as the pianist J\u00falio Resende<\/strong> with his Fado Jazz Ensemble<\/strong>, conductor Martim Sousa Tavares<\/strong>, and violist Sofia Silva Sousa<\/strong>, among many others.<\/p>

In terms of composition, the highlights include works by Beethoven<\/strong>, Mozart<\/strong>, Haydn<\/strong>, Schubert<\/strong>, Chopin<\/strong>, Paganini<\/strong>, and Shostakovich<\/strong>; works by Renaissance composers, such as the Portuguese Pedro de Cristo<\/strong>; and the opera by Philip Glass<\/strong>, \"In the Penal Colony\"<\/strong>, based on the eponymous short story by Franz Kafka<\/strong>.<\/p>

It is also worth highlighting the world premiere of a new work by the award-winning Portuguese composer, based in New York, Andreia Pinto Correia<\/strong>, as well as the posthumous tribute concert to Ant\u00f3nio Mega Ferreira<\/strong>, one of the most prominent figures in Portuguese culture and thought in the post-25th of April era.<\/p>

The cycle of the now emblematic Conversas dos Capuchos<\/strong>, curated and moderated by Carlos Vaz Marques<\/strong>, will be dedicated to three literary anniversaries of 2024 \u2013 the centenary of the death of Franz Kafka<\/strong>, the centenary of the birth of Sebasti\u00e3o da Gama<\/strong>, and the 500th anniversary of Lu\u00eds Vaz de Cam\u00f5es<\/strong> \u2013 featuring guests such as Alberto Manguel<\/strong>, Jos\u00e9 Carlos Seabra Pereira<\/strong>, Maria Bochichio<\/strong>, Nuno Amado<\/strong>, Jos\u00e9 Gardeazabal<\/strong>, and Viriato Soromenho-Marques<\/strong>.<\/p>

In 2024, in what will be the fourth edition of the Festival de M\u00fasica dos Capuchos following the 20-year hiatus between 2001 and 2020, a series of educational and awareness-raising activities initiated in the 2023 edition will also take place: pre-concert talks called Prel\u00fadios dos Capuchos<\/strong>, moderated by Jo\u00e3o Almeida<\/strong>, director of Antena 2; a Visit to the cultural heritage of the Convento dos Capuchos<\/strong>, built in the 16th century; a Walk in the Protected Landscape of the Costa da Caparica Fossil Cliff<\/strong>, where the Convent is located; and the Masterclasses dos Capuchos<\/strong>, open lessons aimed at young musicians and led by professors from the Conservatories of Leipzig<\/strong>, Lucerne<\/strong>, and Helsinki<\/strong>.<\/p>

In this fiftieth anniversary of April 25th, we celebrate the ideals of Freedom with a program that reaffirms the mission of the Festival de M\u00fasica dos Capuchos<\/strong> as a leading event on both national and international levels, thus promoting democratic access to culture.<\/p>

We extend our heartfelt thanks to all who make the realization of the Festival de M\u00fasica dos Capuchos<\/strong> possible, first and foremost to the C\u00e2mara Municipal de Almada<\/strong> and its municipal services, to the Direc\u00e7\u00e3o-Geral das Artes<\/strong>, to the patron BPI\/Funda\u00e7\u00e3o \u201cla Caixa\u201d<\/strong>, to the partners Companhia de Teatro de Almada<\/strong>, \u00c2mbito Cultural do El Corte Ingl\u00e9s<\/strong>, RTP Antena 2<\/strong>, and to His Excellency the President of the Republic<\/strong> for once again granting the High Patronage.<\/p>
