Portuguese Composers XX/XXI

Record releases Portuguese Composers of the 20th and 21st centuries Volume 6

Coro Sinfónico Lisboa Cantat

The preservation and promotion of the Portuguese musical legacy is a mission that must be accomplished by everyone. On our part, we have made a contribution that we believe is extremely valuable: our record editions Portuguese Composers of the 20th and 21st Centuries, a collection of which we will soon be releasing the 6th volume. We invite you to be part of this project!

The collection brings together popular music with roots from all over the country and this 6th volume includes compositions for choir by Fernando Lapa, Luís de Freitas Branco, Fernando Lopes-Graça, Vasco Pierce de Azevedo, Alfredo Teixeira and Gonçalo Lourenço.

Your support will help us bring this project to fruition, enabling not only the lasting recording of such a rich legacy, but also the promotion of the best of Portuguese music, in the country and abroad, with performances by the Lisbon Cantat Symphonic Choir and the Lisbon Cantat Chamber Choir, under the artistic direction of maestro Jorge Carvalho Alves.

Honoring the work carried out and the composers who accompanied us on this journey requires many hours of recording and the enormous commitment of artists and technicians.

Above all, we believe in the quality and originality of our composers and in the pleasure of performing and listening to them — and in extending this pleasure to the maximum number of people.
