ABOUT THIS EVENT

A lecture-concert dedicated to the music of John Luther Adams, at its intersection between landscape and sound, ecology and art. The lecture is given by Martim Sousa Tavares using video and sound projection. The concert is with Leipzig-based pianist Mrika Sefa.

Foco Maestro is the São Luiz Theater project, which every year invites a conductor to define moments in the program. In 2024, Martim Sousa Tavares is given carte blanche, who presents five different proposals between February and December.

His music perfectly echoes the landscape he loves: impersonal, relentless, larger than human scale, yet gorgeous, a quiet chaos of colors, suffused with light. It’s not a climate everyone could live in. But for those who want to bathe their ears in an aural aurora borealis while staying warm inside, it’s a spiritual odyssey well worth taking. - Kyle Gann
