Música Viva Festival 2008

Intersection of multiple musical expressions and aesthetics

In its 14th edition, the Música Viva Festival is both national and internationally recognised as a vast breathing space of renewal; as a meeting point of today’s music metamorphoses; as a place for some to share their experiences; as a source of inspiration for many. It is a privileged platform for exchanging and discussing ideas and aesthetics; a crossroad between music and technology; an occasion for dialogue with other realms of contemporary creation, in a field that extends from the instrumental and analogue to the virtual and electronic.
From improvisation to score music, Música Viva Festival offers once more the most prominent names alongside the youngest composers and performers.
The Festival reaffirms the Portuguese music creation full vitality and diversity by presenting performances with large orchestras, the Miso Music Portugal’s Loudspeaker Orchestra and its notorious electronic music concerts, chamber music, electroacoustic theatre, concerts for children, sound and video installations, and vocal performances.
The Música Viva 2008 will present 24 different performances; 106 pieces; 39 world premieres; works from more than 60 different composers of which 23 Portuguese composers. Finally there will be the new Sound Walk project and 6 sound installations at the festival’s Interactive Lounge.

All in all these numbers prove the extremely fertile creative activity one can witness today in Portugal and to which the Festival gives its voice.

19 to 27 of September 2008
Jerónimos Monastery, Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and Belém Arts Centre
