About

The “Música e Revolução” (Music and Revolution) cycle revisits May 1968 in a series of concerts that reflect the various aesthetics of the period. The breaking down of political, social, cultural and sexual barriers had a strong impact on the arts. Thus, the cycle intends to provide an overview of the musical heterogeneity of that exciting period. Comprising works exclusively written in that year, it follows a winding path between styles, composers and contexts. From classical music to improvisation contexts, through structuralism influenced by serial models centred in Darmstadt, “Música & Revolução” shows the non-alignment of works and composers at a time when poetry was in the streets. Protest, freedom and heterodoxy in a journey without a passport through the music of the second half of the 20th century.
