“Portuguese Music in the reign of King Manuel II”

D. Manuel II had a special taste for the arts in general, for History, literature and music in particular, he even played the organ and piano. Also called “the Patriot” or “the Unfortunate“, he was the last king of Portugal and reigned from February 1, 1908, until the establishment of the Republic, on October 5, 1910.

Forced to interrupt his studies at the age of eighteen to assume the throne, his culture and immense love for books, music and everything Portuguese are an unmistakable mark of his reign.

The next concert “Portuguese Music in the reign of King Manuel II“, presents a journey through the Portuguese musical repertoire that accompanied the reign of the last King of Portugal, by the hands of the Staccato Quartet, which counts with João Sebastião as the tenor, Marcos Lázaro on violin, Bárbara Duarte on cello and Viktoriya Gakman on piano.
