The second concert of the festival will feature the phenomenal Portuguese ensemble Sete Lágrimas with a theme that is specifically linked to the family – rites of passage in the music of the Iberian Peninsula and the Portuguese diaspora. Folk customs and traditions have always been deeply embedded in the fabric of everyday life. The birth of a child, welcoming a new member into the family, love and courtship, blessings, and wedding ceremonies uniting not only individuals but entire family clans… However, peace and tranquility was often disrupted by various conflicts, breakups, or separations, ideally followed by reunions and reconciliations. The endless family cycle was ultimately brought to an end by death, which was not only a moment of grief, but also a time for thanksgiving and celebration of the transition to a new life.
The concert programme will take the audience through all the stages of life from birth to death, illustrated by examples of both the artificial and traditional musical heritage of Iberian culture across centuries, continents and confessions.
