Música in Trancoso Festival
The Música em Trancoso 2014 Festival, to be held March 15th thru March 22nd, the third grand event that celebrates arts, promotes education and transforms music as a tool for social integration, announces this year’s wide range of activities.
After two years of meticulous planning, the first Música em Trancoso Festival was held in March, 2012. It was the result of the dream of four friends, music lovers and social activists who wanted to create an event to bring together young musicians and established artists while at the same time promoting the natural beauty of the Trancoso region and stimulating economic and social development. The Festival’s critical and popular success was immediate and can be measured by the outstanding performances of more than 200 musicians before 10,000 spectators.
Every year for eight days in a series of free concerts and accompanying musical events between Carnival and Easter, the village of Trancoso welcomes performers and soloists of international recognition in classical music as well as the greatest names in Brazilian popular music.
Its founders are Sabine Lovatelli, president of Mozarteum Brasileiro, one of the most acclaimed associations devoted to the diffusion of classical music in Brazil; Reinold Geiger, president of the L’Occitane group; Carlos Eduardo Bittencourt, entrepreneur from Trancoso, Bahia; and the Luxembourgish architect François Valentiny, internationally known for designing theaters and cultural venues.
Música em Trancoso has three interrelated activities, which take place throughout the event:
- Performances at the Teatro Mozarteum Brasileiro.
- Masterclasses in the “Facilities” building, adjoining the theatre.
- Music Initiation Classes for children and teens from public schools in the Trancoso and Arraial d’Ajuda region.
