Programmatic Music and its Stories

Academia das Ciências de Lisboa
Mon 23 Oct 17:00
Entrada Livre

Music has the power and ability to sonically describe both an epic narrative and the existential struggles of human beings, as well as all the elements of nature and everyday life, in a symbolic or imitative way. Many composers have taken advantage of all these elements as a starting point for creating a work, with an extra-musical descriptive intent. This program is therefore made up of stories, sounds, environments, journeys and characters told to the public; not through narration or theater, but through music.
