The gala night promoted by the FEMUSC International Festival this Thursday, 27/01, had among the highlights the presentation of the musical work “Abertura para a Independência do Brasil”, composed by Dom Pedro Primeiro in 1820.
The concert, in honor of the bicentennial of Independence, was played with replicas of old instruments so that the public knew the same sound as the composition time. An excerpt from Mozart’s “As Bodas de Figaro”, was also played to highlight the presentation this Friday, of the Femusc Opera.
The show also had music by Femusckinho, the festival’s summer camp for children between 6 and 12 years old. The 80 students of this edition showed the public presentations with flute, triangle and singing.
The gala night ended with an MPB show presented by the teachers of the Brazilian Popular Music Course Marcelo Ghelfi, Chico Macedo, Dino Barione, Edu Ribeiro and Marinho Andreotti.
