The students of the Orchestra Practice course at the Porto Alegre Symphony Orchestra’s School of Music (OSPA) will return to Casa da OSPA this Sunday, the 2nd, to perform the second concert of the year.
Conducted by OSPA composer and musician Arthur Barbosa, OSPA Jovem will present works by renowned romantic composers Piotr Ilitch Tchaikovsky, Jean Sibelius and Modest Mussorgsky, at 6 pm. In the second part of the show, students will travel back in time and perform a Latin American repertoire, which will include compositions by Tom Jobim, Dámaso Pérez Prado, as well as an authorial piece by conductor Arthur Barbosa. Entry will be free and on a first-come, first-served basis.
The performance will begin with the movements “Waltz” and “Scene” from “Swan Lake”, a hugely popular work by Pyotr Tchaikovsky. Then, concert music compositions that are part of the soundtracks of cinema classics will be interpreted, such as “Valse Triste” by Jean Sibelius, present in the 1976 Italian animation “Allegro Non Troppo” (in Portuguese, “Música e Fantasia” ), and “A Night on Bald Mountain” by Modest Mussorgsky, soundtrack of the 1940 Disney film “Fantasia”.
In the second part of the concert, Latin American rhythms will be highlighted. The sequence of Latin American works will begin with “Fantasia Candombe” by conductor Arthur Barbosa, which is an allusion to the Afro-Uruguayan rhythm of the same name. Then, the students will perform “Desafinado”, a song written by Tom Jobim in 1959, which received concert arrangements for this performance. After the two Brazilian works, the concert will close with an amusing potpourri of mambos by the famous Cuban composer Dámaso Pérez Prado.
