FESTIVAL MÚSICA VIVA 2021 November 06th to 20th at O’culto da Ajuda

The Música Viva Festival is an integrated initiative of Miso Music Portugal to promote and disseminate contemporary musical creation, especially dedicated to Portuguese composers and performers and the relationship between music and technology.

The Música Viva Festival completes its 27th edition in 2021; showing the vitality of musical creation in Portugal, in a clear confrontation of ideas and aesthetics, the Festival provides new possibilities for experimentation, fostering new spaces of expression and approximation with the public, multiplying encounters and giving way to emerging values that point to new ways.

Noteworthy is the opening concert with the program “50 anos de Música Espectral” by the Sond’Ar-te Electric ensemble, in a broad formation; the concert by the Neue Vocalsolisten unavoidable vocal ensemble in the interpretation of today's music; the European Art - Science - Technology Network for Digital Creativity Festival within the Música Viva Festival and the XX-XXI Ensemble and Duo Sigma.

2 weeks of intense activity to acknowledge musical creation of our time, a time in which Art insists on being free, nurturing human intelligence and sensibility and resisting to the hegemonic logics of quantification.
