Concert by the Lisbon Metropolitan Orchestra, commemorating World Music Day.

Music in dialogue with History. This is what Berta Alves de Sousa did – one of the first women to conduct an orchestra in Portugal – when she premiered this work evoking the sixteenth-century Portuguese navigator Vasco da Gama at the Palácio de Cristal in 1950.

At different times, Thomas Adès (2006) and Maurice Ravel (1914-1917) proposed diffuse impressions of baroque music under the pretext of the figure of François Couperin, the most important French composer between Lully and Rameau.

Adès recreated himself in a commotion of fragments. Ravel did so with irony, remembering friends lost in the First World War.

Memories aside, it is also an opportunity to discover the winning work of this year's Francisco de Lacerda Composition Prize.

Concert conducted by maestro Bruno Borralhinho.
