Joan Cerveró conducts Short Cuts C at the Culturgest |
|
Friday, 29 May 2009 |
 joan_cervero.jpg On the 29th of May | 9.30 p.m. - the Culturgest presents «Via Latina», a concert with Portuguese and Spanish contemporary works, performed by the OrchestrUtopica and conducted by Joan Cerveró.
The program includes Luís Tinoco's Short Cuts C, for wind quartet, percussion trio and piano.
(...) ["Short Cuts C"] is seductive and soothing, with
floating minimalist harmonies and cushiony timbres driven by the
pulsing 16th-notes of marimbas, clarinets, tenor saxophone and piano. John Von Rhein - Chicago Tribune
On the same day, at the Centro de Artes do Espectáculo de Portalegre, the Ensemble Contemporâneus conducted by Paulo Videira will perform works written by Portuguese composers, including Antipode, for 15 players.
(...) ["Antipode"], an orchestral score in which powerfully rhythmic
sections and quieter, sustained writing provide the opposition
suggested in the title.
Allan Kozinn - New York Times
