The Casa da Orquestra Sinfônica de Porto Alegre (OSPA) once again hosts concerts on Saturdays. The Villa-Lobos & Gershwin show opens the 2023 Season on March 11 at 5 pm. To perform the works, Japanese soprano Eiko Senda and Brazilian pianist Sylvia Thereza were invited as soloists. The duo of soloists also participates in a chat on Thursday (9), at 4 pm, within the schedule of the Secretariat of Culture of Rio Grande do Sul (Sedac-RS) for Women’s Month.
For the first performance of the year, the conductor and artistic director of OSPA, Evandro Matté, selected two works by each composer, Heitor Villa-Lobos and George Gershwin. According to Matté, the two innovated by “inserting popular and regional music from their countries into concert music”.

On the 11th, at 4 pm, the pianist Max Uriarte will give an explanation in the Recital Room of the Casa da OSPA – admission is via concert ticket.
