“100 PAREDES” Concert – Centenary of the Birth of Carlos Paredes
Bruno Costa, Choir & Orchestra
The Grand Auditorium of the São Francisco Convent will host the commemorative show “100 PAREDES”, a tribute to the centenary of the birth of Carlos Paredes. This event, part of the official celebrations, is scheduled to premiere on February 15, 2025.
Under the artistic and musical direction of André Varandas and Bruno Costa, the show will be led by maestro Artur Pinho Maria, responsible for conducting the choir and orchestra, in addition to exclusive arrangements signed by renowned Brazilian composer Rodrigo Morte.
This is a multidisciplinary production inspired by the work of Carlos Paredes. The interpretation of Portuguese guitarist Bruno Costa will bring to life the composer’s emblematic themes, in a unique fusion with an audiovisual documentary collection about his life and legacy, created by André Varandas. The result is an unforgettable artistic experience, which pays homage, uniquely, to the master of the Portuguese guitar.
The concert will bring together several artists and artistic collectives from the municipality of Coimbra, involving around 300 participants in a celebration that includes a community orchestra, community choir, as well as expressions such as theatre, dance and other performing arts.
