On Thursday night (15/6), the Auditorium of the Goethe-Institut Porto Alegre receives students from the Porto Alegre Symphony Orchestra’s School of Music (OSPA), an institution linked to the State Secretariat for Culture (Sedac).
Advanced level students take the stage at 7 pm for a free recital open to the public. In the repertoire, there are pieces by great composers of concert music performed by clarinet, cello, oboe, tuba, double bass, piano, trumpet and trombone students. OSPA professor and musician André Carrara will accompany the students on the piano.
The program extends from the Baroque period to contemporary music. The oboe students Ana Kafrouni and Gustavo Globig Farina perform two movements from “Concerto for Two Oboes, RV 535”, by Antonio Vivaldi (1678 – 1741).
Calíope Corrêa Beber (cello) presents the first movement of the “Concerto for Cello and Orchestra”, by Joseph Haydn (1732 – 1809). Sofia Kwiatkowski (clarinet) plays a movement from “Concert for Clarinet and Orchestra No. 1, Op. 73”, by Carl Maria von Weber (1786 – 1826).
The final movement of “Três Romances, Op. 94”, by Robert Schumann (1810 – 1856), will be performed by tubist Gabriel Luz Leuck Silva. The student also performs “Suite for Tuba and Piano”, by contemporary composer Don Haddad (1935 – ).
In addition to Don Haddad’s suite, other works from the 20th century are featured in the presentation. Matheus Albornoz (double bass) and Aline Araújo (piano) interpret “Vocalise”, a 1915 composition by Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873 – 1943). Trumpeter Moizes Santos da Cunha presents “Legende para Trompete e Piano”, by George Enescu (1881 – 1955). “Cavatina for Trombone and Piano, Op. 144”, a 1915 work by Camille Saint-Saëns (1835 – 1921), closes the recital, with a presentation by trombonist David Borges Silva.
