About

The audience is called to participate in this special concert by helping the artists on stage to perform a new composition. The work to be premiered is a commission to Cathy Milliken, composer, oboist and founding member of the prestigious Ensemble Modern, and is entitled “Night Shift”. It is based on Shakespeare's “A Midsummer Night's Dream” which is about conflict and resolution. The Fairies are the influencers, and the Mechanicals are the ones who live life in a pragmatic way. The presentation at Casa da Música includes texts in Portuguese created especially for this occasion and promises to become an unforgettable experience. An initiative promoted by the Art Mentor Foundation Lucerne, the Connect project challenges conventions and has a European dimension, with the collaboration of prestigious contemporary music ensembles — in addition to the Remix Ensemble, the London Sinfonietta, the Asko·Schönberg and the Ensemble Modern.
