The new
2014 Music Season at the Palace of Queluz – Tempest and Galanterie – has just
been announced. The artistic director will be Massimo Mazzeo, from the
Portuguese Centre of 18th-Century Musical Studies (DS-CESP) and the programme
for the season, which begins on 8 March, will consist of two cycles, Carnival
and Autumn, involving a total of 11 concerts. Works by Beethoven, Bach, Mozart
and Mendelssohn, among others, will be presented, in what Massimo Mazzeo
describes as a “reconciliation between different atmospheres of culture,
whether seen from a historical point of view or through present-day cultural
programming.”
António
Lamas, President of the Board of Directors of Parques de Sintra, has spoken of
his satisfaction at being able to “bring 18th-century music back to the
National Palace of Queluz, linking the Palace’s name to a musical season of the
highest quality”, which will include such names as Ronald Brautigam, Alexander
Lonquich, Thalia Ensemble, Pedro Burmester, Jos van Immerseel and the
Gulbenkian Orchestra among others.
Massimo Mazzeo stresses that “the season does not seek to be speculative or populist in any way and is also intended to provide an opportunity for the presentation of new Portuguese musical ensembles, recognised for their work, as well as for the originality and intelligence of their musical proposal.”
