2010 - MISO MUSIC PORTUGAL "25 YEARS"
http://www.misomusic.com/25years/Home.html

In 2010 Miso Music Portugal celebrates its 25th anniversary.

To celebrate its 25 years of relentless activity,
we will have some special commemorating events:
from April 13 to 17 at the Instituto
Franco-Português in Lisbon - "SEMANA DE ABRIL"/
"A WEEK IN APRIL" - and on June 11 and 12 at the
Centro Cultural de Cascais (in Cascais) - "DIAS
DE CASCAIS"/ "CASCAIS'DAYS".

These two particular events in no way represent
the whole spectrum of activities undertaken by
Miso Music Portugal throughout the year, hence
revealing the structural and vital work that it
has continuously dedicated to fostering
Portuguese musical creation and the Portuguese
new music: dissemination and international
promotion; investment in musicological research
and in new technologies applied to music and
performance; commitment in the preservation and
communication of Portuguese musical heritage
(both physically and digitally); long running
devotion to the increase of Portuguese new music
CDs and scores' releases and distribution;
assuring and reinforcing the presence of
Portuguese pieces in concerts' line-ups;
developing several pedagogical projects through
Art and drawing on new audiences' awareness;
developing the basis and projects for the
exchange of composers and performers at both
national and international levels.

The 2010 edition of the MÚSICA VIVA FESTIVAL -
taking place from September 10th to 25th in
Lisboa at the Centro Cultural de Belém/ Belém
Arts Centre, the Jerónimos Monastery, Calouste
Gulbenkian Foundation and the Instituto
Franco-Português - will undoubtedly play a
key-role in the celebration of this anniversary.

We would be honoured to have you with us for
these events, so we can achieve our goal of
giving voice to a significant number of
Portuguese contemporary composers once more.

See you in April!


"The AIC has found Música Viva, and all other
projects of Miso Music (including their
performing groups and recordings etc.), to be of
the highest artistic merit. Furthermore they are
run at the most professional organisational
level. In the context of the international
contemporary music scene Miso Music has an
exceptional record of achievement."
John McLachlan, Composer and President of the
Association of Irish Composers, August 2008


"It is with great pleasure that I write about the
work of Miso Music Portugal - (...) I have always
been very well received and followed up as part
of a festival which is internationally known as
one of today's most original contemporary music
events, using new technologies for musical
creation purposes. For their human and
professional capacities, I recommend without
reservation the work of Miso Music Portugal."
Pedro Carneiro, Performer, Composer, Artistic
Director and Chief Conductor of the Portuguese
Chamber Orchestra, September, September 2008


"Over its many years of existence and despite
their limited resources, MISO must certainly be
the organization which has promoted and supported
the most, music and Portuguese composers both in
Portugal and abroad. This support and promotion
must go on in the best interest of Portuguese
Culture."
José Luís Ferreira, Composer and Professor at ESML and ETIC, October 2008




"A week in April" - April 13th to 17th, 2010

In April 2010 Miso Music Portugal is throwing a
week-long "party": presenting concerts,
children-oriented performances and the launching
of new CDs. Furthermore, Miso Music Portugal is
happy to highlight two world premieres: two
collective works composed in a surrealist
"cadavre exquis" way by more than 75 Portuguese
and foreign composers, all of whom we had the
great privilege and pleasure of working with over
these last 25 years. Together, these composers
will commemorate this important event by offering
one musical miniature of music each. Several have
already confirmed their attendance.

All performances at "A week in April" will be
recorded and aired through RTP Antena 2 (National
Music Radio).

Música Viva Festival 2010

Celebrating Miso Music Portugal's 25 Years

While Miso Music Portugal celebrates a quarter of
a century's existence, Musica Viva Festival could
not fail to be another great moment to
demonstrate its strength and stamina.
As a key event for innovation, circulation and
exchange of ideas and aesthetics, especially
devoted to Portuguese composers and to the
connections between music and technology, the
Musica Viva Festival 2010 will bring us some of
the most experienced and respected performers
today, who will present pieces by renowned
composers alongside those of young composers.
The Festival line-up will boast about 20 concerts
and more than one hundred musical pieces as well
as activities such as installations and audience
awareness events. It will take place at the Belém
Arts Centre, the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation,
the Jerónimos Monastery and the Instituto
Franco-Português from September 10th to 25th,
2010.
