Dossier de imprensa
Um festival que está umbilicalmente ligado ao património cisterciense, nomeadamente, a um dos seus maiores expoentes, o
Mosteiro de Santa Maria de Alcobaça, não poderia ficar alheado do Congresso Internacional sobre os Mosteiros Cistercienses.
Assim, o Concerto Inaugural será “Em Torno de Cister” pela soprano Elena Gragera e pelo pianista Anton Cardó, numa iniciativa
incluída também no programa oficial do referido congresso que se realizará no dia 14 de junho, pelas 19h00, na Sala do Capítulo
do Mosteiro de Alcobaça. A mesma temática estará presente no concerto que nos propõe a Capella Duriensis, a partir de vários
manuscritos de compositores muito relevantes na história da música, como Josquim des Prez, que existiam na Biblioteca do
Mosteiro. Aliás, este concerto terá o sugestivo nome “Da Biblioteca do Mosteiro de Alcobaça”.
Uma das características do Cistermúsica é o seu ecletismo, programando música de todas as épocas e para todos os gostos.
Assim, se por um lado ouviremos algumas das obras de referência do esplendor final do barroco, dos compositores Haendel
e Pedro Avondado, pelo prestigiado agrupamento Ensemble D. João V, por outro o Moscow Piano Quartet propõe-nos uma
viagem por obras de Richard Strauss, Bohuslav Martinu e Armando José Fernandes. Assistiremos ainda ao virtuosismo do
excelente cravista brasileiro Cristiano Holtz que tocará algumas das obras mais emblemáticas dos mestres do cravo.
Numa programação que continua especialmente atenta aos jovens valores, teremos oportunidade de apresentar o violinista
Otto Pereira (vencedor do Concurso de Interpretação do Estoril 2011) e os vencedores da 2ª edição do Concurso Internacional
de Música de Câmara “Cidade de Alcobaça”: o Duo Liz (duo de flauta e guitarra, vencedor do 2º Prémio na Categoria Júnior) e o
grupo de percussão Simantra (1º Prémio da Categoria Sénior).
Este ano o Cistermúsica dará uma especial atenção aos agrupamentos de percussão, pois para além dos Simantra um outro
grupo, Phsapa Ensemble (México), realizará um concerto.
Depois do êxito da História de Babar em 2008, das Aventuras da Polegarzinha em 2009, espetáculos para crianças desenvolvidos
por Bruno Belthoise, este prestigiado pianista volta a propor mais um conto infantil - Hänsel & Gretel – desta vez acompanhado
pela também pianista Cristina Margotto e que contará ainda com a narração de Alexandre Delgado.
Este espetáculo junta-se a uma série de outros, alguns dos quais com a participação de professores e/ou alunos das várias
áreas de ensino ministradas pela Academia de Música de Alcobaça, inseridos numa programação específica denominada
“Cistermúsica Júnior e Famílias”.
Tendo em conta o sucesso da secção dedicada à dança, que se realizou pela primeira vez na edição no ano transacto, o
Cistermúsica apresenta nesta vigésima edição uma programação ainda mais ambiciosa com projetos nacionais e internacionais.
Do Brasil a “Cia Juliana Carletto” traz-nos “Poema de uma vida”, obra inspirada na vida do poeta, cantor e compositor Vinicius
de Moraes, num estilo modern jazz pouco explorado em Portugal. Também do outro lado do Oceano Atlântico, dos Estados
Unidos da América, “Renegade Performance Group” apresenta a obra “Brooklyn Sól”, em contemporâneo. A 2ª edição da “Gala
Pequenos Bailarinos” com escolas de ensino de dança nacionais e internacionais, sendo de destacar o Conservatório de Dança
de Rijeka (Croácia), pretende prosseguir uma política de formação de público(s) e de projecto educativo. A terminar esta secção,
duas coreografias da responsabilidade de Luís Sousa e Rita Abreu, também professores na Academia de Dança de Alcobaça.
Finalmente, no que se refere à programação principal é de destacar a apresentação em estreia exclusiva da ópera “Páris e
Helena” - um projeto que nasce de uma proposta da Escola Superior de Música para a criação de uma parceria que permitisse
levar à cena a ópera do compositor alemão Christoph Willibald Gluck com uma abordagem artística contemporânea e arrojada
– e o Concerto de Encerramento com a Orquestra Filarmonia das Beiras, dirigida por António Victorino d´Almeida, que nos
apresentará um programa com obras muito conhecidas do repertório da música erudita.
A XX edição do Cistermúsica decorre de 14 de junho a 29 de julho, principalmente nas várias salas do Mosteiro de Santa Maria de
Alcobaça, mas também no Mosteiro de Santa Maria de Cós, em algumas igrejas do concelho e no Cine-Teatro de Alcobaça João
D´Oliva Monteiro.
