Música Viva Festival 2011

mind over matter

September 9th-14th 2011, Belém Cultural Centre, Lisbon

Music Thinks, Music Is Alive!
Ever since its foundation the Música Viva Festival has been a challenge for creators and performers, a privileged vehicle for communication of music, which is being created here and now, of music reinventing itself every day in search of its own identity and space, of music certain that its nature prevails... in its transmission.

Yet during the 17th edition, the Música Viva will have to manage a serious contradiction between the festival’s unique projection on international level and the strong threat facing its development due to the adversities and instabilities of the Portuguese artistic and cultural sector in 2011.

Belonging to a small circuit of noteworthy new music festivals in Europe and coveted by many, who would like to take part in it, the Música Viva is an indispensible window to our national musical creation. It constitutes a vision for a broad diversity of proposals, aesthetics and languages, considering that music is as performative as other forms of art. Therefore, we will not let this lingering uncertainty manifest itself neither in the festival’s core mission, nor in the quality and diversity of the proposed repertoire. Between September 9th and 14th visit the Belém Cultural Centre in Lisbon, where the Música Viva 2011 Festival will be concentrated in a series of concerts and activities, undoubtedly appealing to everyone’s curiosity.
