*Absolute premiere
In the second concert of the Coro Gulbenkian A Cappella mini-cycle, maestro Pedro Teixeira conducts a programme on the theme of “Light and Shadow”, inspired by the chiaroscuro technique of Renaissance painting, in which the works explicitly refer to light and highlight moments of shadow, related to death.
