Young Soloists of the Metropolitana - Tutti Metals
Feb 12 8pm


àCapela opening hours: 3pm to 11pm
This venue is not wheelchair accessible and for people with reduced mobility.
Students from the brass classes at Escola Profissional da Metropolitana come together in various ensembles to explore centuries of European music, from the Renaissance to the present day. Using modern transcriptions, they perform flamenco dances by Tylman Susato, miniatures that the Englishman Giles Farnaby played on the virginal, polyphony from the golden age of Venice by Giovanni Gabrieli, one of the most beautiful melodies ever written, and a Lutheran chorale by Johann Sebastian Bach. They also include the slow movement of Saint-Saëns' symphony “With Organ,” a fanfare by Paul Dukas, composer of the symphonic poem The Sorcerer's Apprentice, and the dark humor of German composer Ernst-Thilo Kalke and American composer Sonny Kompanek.
