"The Musicians of the Tagus"
A musical project in the field of early music founded by Marcos Magalhães and Marta Araújo.
"Os Músicos do Tejo" had their first performance in Setúbal in December 2005 and in their short existence as a group specialized in early music they have already developed a partnership with CCB that led them to produce three operas, edited two records, performed in numerous concerts in Portugal and abroad and were the object of several institutional supports (Gulbenkian, Oriente and Stanley Ho Foundations; Lisbon City Hall, General Directorate of Social Reinsertion and Camões Institute) and patronage (AMARSUL, private patrons).
The two operas "La Spinalba" by F. A. de Almeida and "Lo Frate Nanmorato" by G.B. Pergolesi, premiered at the CCB, have been received with great success by the public and have received enthusiastic reviews from all the specialized critics (Publico, Diário Notícias, Jornal de Letras, Expresso).
Day July 26 will be at ISEG where they will present, in the Great Hall, at 5:30 p.m. an informal General Essay with the theme "Journey through European Baroque Music".
