<\/strong>Bragan\u00e7a – Portugal<\/strong><\/p>

Welcome to the 1st edition of the Bragan\u00e7a ClassicFest International Music Festival!\u00a0Bragan\u00e7a ClassicFest<\/em>!<\/span><\/p>

It is with great satisfaction and enthusiasm that we launch the Bragan\u00e7a ClassicFest in 2021\u2014a year indelibly marked by tragic moments related to the Covid-19 pandemic. Amid these immense challenges, the extraordinary mobilization of numerous individuals and institutions made it possible to initiate this festival of unquestionable international excellence, allowing us to celebrate life in Bragan\u00e7a united by great music.<\/p>

Bragan\u00e7a is an unmissable historical and cultural reference in our country. I recall, still in my adolescence, the impact of my debut in the city, in a piano recital at the Paulo Quintela Auditorium, performing works by Bach and Shostakovich. It was the early 1990s, and since then I have had the pleasure of performing in Bragan\u00e7a many times, from 2004 onwards invariably at the magnificent Teatro Municipal de Bragan\u00e7a, where each return is a joyful occasion, reconnecting with warm, multi-generational audiences.<\/span><\/p>

The Bragan\u00e7a ClassicFest opens on World Music Day, October 1, launched in 1975 by the renowned violinist and conductor Yehudi Menuhin, then President of the International Music Council of UNESCO, to \u201cpromote the value of musical art across all sectors of society, building peace and understanding through a common language\u201d\u2014Music\u2014a noble goal embraced by the Bragan\u00e7a ClassicFest!<\/p>

Among the many highlights of the 1st Bragan\u00e7a ClassicFest are: the St. Petersburg Chamber Orchestra, one of Russia\u2019s great cultural ambassadors, under the direction of Maestro Yuri Gilbo; concerts dedicated to the Argentine composer Astor Piazzolla, marking the centenary of his birth, including some of his most iconic works and a performance of his only opera, Maria de Buenos Aires. Bragan\u00e7a will host some of the world\u2019s leading Piazzolla interpreters, including the renowned New York\u2013based Argentine bandoneonist H\u00e9ctor Del Curto, who performed with Piazzolla himself; the Canadian violinist Karen Gomyo, considered one of today\u2019s most brilliant violinists, performing on her famous 1703 Stradivarius \u201cAurora\u201d; and singers Ana Karina Rossi, Daniel Bonilla-Torres, and Rub\u00e9n Peloni, distinguished Piazzolla interpreters.\n\nThe program also features masterpieces of music history, including Vivaldi\u2019s Four Seasons\u2014with rising star soloist Diana Tishchenko\u2014as well as compositions by Bach, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Schubert, and Dvo\u0159\u00e1k, performed by renowned national and international musicians. Portuguese music opens the festival with Carlos Seixas\u2019 Symphony in B-flat Major, honoring one of the main Portuguese composers of the 18th century.<\/p>

I would like to express my deep gratitude to the institutions that made this first edition of Bragan\u00e7a ClassicFest possible, especially the C\u00e2mara Municipal de Bragan\u00e7a, Teatro Municipal de Bragan\u00e7a, and the DSCH Musical Association, organizers of this commendable initiative, as well as to the principal patron BPI\/Funda\u00e7\u00e3o \u201cla Caixa\u201d, and to the support of the Dire\u00e7\u00f5es-Gerais das Artes and Ensino Superior, Instituto Polit\u00e9cnico de Bragan\u00e7a, and the Diocese of Miranda-Bragan\u00e7a.<\/p>

The Bragan\u00e7a ClassicFest International Music Festival positions itself as a cultural event of international dimension and reference for the city, region, and country, offering a harmonious intersection between Music and the Historical, Cultural, and Architectural Heritage of Bragan\u00e7a, preserving and cultivating its identity.\n\nBragan\u00e7a ClassicFest is thus a festival celebrating Music and an open door for regular and new audiences, national and international, with the goal of dignifying, enriching, and energizing the region, contributing sustainably to prosperity and promoting access to Culture for All.<\/p>

With heartfelt thanks!<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>
