AGENDA
Orquestra Jazz de Matosinhos
Matosinhos em Jazz
A tribute to Thad Jones, the trumpeter, composer and arranger who co-founded one of the most impactful orchestras on the New York jazz scene with drummer Mel Lewis. There’s no one better than Nick Marchione, the first trumpet of the current Vanguard Jazz Orchestra, to lead Orquestra Jazz de Matosinhos through the sonorities of Thad Jones’ themes.
Orquestra Sinfónica do Porto Casa da Música
Matosinhos em Jazz
A symphony orchestra is a territory open to revolutionary experiments, and this concert is proof of that. Mason Bates has created a symphonietta designed as a computer code that grows organically on its own. Gabriel Prokofiev proposes a concert in which the soloist is the DJ, a master of turntable manipulation. The line-up also includes Beethoven9 Remix, a new take on Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. Immensely creative music presented by Casa da Música in Matosinhos.
