Overview

Enjoy an unforgettable concert with the Municipal Symphony Orchestra, Coral Paulistano and Osesp Choir, conducted by Maíra Ferreira, performing works by Shaw, Poulenc, Boulanger and Bach.

Composer Caroline Shaw, the youngest winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Music, is one of the most prominent figures in the contemporary American music scene. Her music is renowned for its use of extended vocal techniques, such as that used in " In the Swallow ," a rendition of Psalm 84 that concludes with the singers evoking the sound of autumn rains. This powerful work opens the concert featuring the Municipal Symphony Orchestra, the Paulistano Choir, and the Osesp Choir, all conducted by Maíra Ferreira.

Francis Poulenc's "Human Figure " is a cantata for double mixed choir composed in 1943 to texts by Paul Éluard. Considered a hymn to freedom and one of Poulenc's finest works, it was written during the Nazi occupation of France and premiered in London in 1945.

The first woman to win the prestigious Grand Prix de Rome composition award, French composer Lili Boulanger left a remarkable body of work despite her untimely death in 1918 at the age of 24. Soir sur la Plaine is a choral piece for soprano, tenor, baritone, mixed choir, and piano or orchestra.

Closing the program, Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme, BWV 140 ( Awake, the Voice Is Calling Us ) is a cantata by Johann Sebastian Bach for horn, two oboes, taille (an instrument similar to the oboe da caccia, today often replaced by an English horn), piccolo violin, violin, viola, basso continuo, chorus, and soloists.

Venue Info

Theatro Municipal (São Paulo) - Sao Paulo
Location   Praça Ramos de Azevedo, s/n

Welcome to one of Brazil's greatest opera houses. Theatro Municipal de São Paulo doors open to the city and the world, a stage prepared to create and deliver memorable and accessible experiences, welcoming classical and contemporary artistic expressions.

The luxurious building, visibly influenced by European opera houses, was built as an aspirational symbol of São Paulo's high society, which, with the abundance of the coffee cycle, desired a performance venue worthy of its European wealth and ambitions to host the great artists of lyrical music and theater.

The project, designed by the Ramos de Azevedo firm—in collaboration with Italians Cláudio Rossi and Domiziano Rossi—began in 1903 and was handed over to the city eight years later. In September 1911, the Municipal Theater opened to distinguished guests before a crowd of 20,000 people, dazzled by the pomp and spectacular lighting for the time—the building was the first to be fully powered by electricity.

The Municipal's stage featured the most important companies of the first half of the 20th century, featuring names such as Enrico Caruso, Maria Callas, Bidu Sayão, Arturo Toscanini, Camargo Guarnieri, Villa-Lobos, Francisco Mignone, Ana Pawlova, Arthur Rubinstein, Claudio Arrau, Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Isadora Duncan, Nijinsky, and Baryshnikov, among many others. Always extending beyond the classical scene, it crowned its cosmopolitan vocation by hosting one of the most important events in the history of the arts in Brazil, the SEMANA DE 22 (WEEK OF '22), featuring Mário and Oswald de Andrade, Anita Malfatti, and many other celebrated young artists who launched the Brazilian modernist movement.

In its over 100-year history, three major renovations have preserved, renovated, and expanded the Theater, which now boasts a restored building. In 2012, the Praça das Artes facility was created to house artistic groups, the municipal music and dance schools, and the multiple activities of the Municipal Theater Complex.
