In this concert for marimba duo, we invite the audience on a sonic journey through different musical periods and aesthetics. From the ornate elegance of the Baroque to the hypnotic rigour of Minimalism, passing through the vibrant expressiveness of contemporary music, each piece reveals the versatility and timbral richness of the marimba. The repertoire includes works by composers such as Steve Reich, Rachmaninoff, Ivan Trevino, Alejandro Viñao, but also transcriptions by J.S. Bach, where the marimba reimagines the brilliance of period instruments. We invite you to immerse yourself in this concert where the old and the new dialogue in resonance.
The Lisbon Percussion Group is an ensemble dedicated to exploring contemporary chamber music, with a special focus on percussion. Coming from different backgrounds, they found in percussion a universal language that allowed them to explore and communicate in a unique way. LPG seeks to break down the barriers of traditional percussive sonorities, bringing an innovative and experimental approach to percussion. The group's repertoire is characterised by works by contemporary composers, as well as collaborations with new creators, in a constant search for new sounds and interpretations.
