In honor of the 200th anniversary of Brazil's Independence, the 'Music at the Museum' project has a program with more than 20 free concerts in various locations in the Marvelous City.
The opening will take place on September 1st, at the Academia Brasileira de Letras, with Roberto de Regina, renowned Brazilian harpsichordist, who, at 95 years old, says goodbye to the national stages in a historic performance.
In addition to the concerts, the event will promote the lecture “Music in the Empire of Brazil”, at Convento do Carmo. The program also takes place in other spaces linked to the date such as the Paço Imperial, Real Conselho Português de Leitura, Palácio São Clemente, CCBB, Museum of Justice, Museum of the Republic, CC Federal Justice, Army Museum/Forte de Copacabana and the Museum of Vida (Fiocruz), with songs performed by great Brazilian musicians.
'Música no Museu' began in 1997, with guitarist Turíbio Santos, and aims to promote free concerts of classical and popular music in museums, libraries, archives, cultural centers, churches and historic palaces. In 2008, the project won the Order of Cultural Merit, which is a decoration to recognize contributions to Brazilian culture.
Opening at the headquarters of the Academia Brasileira de Letras, the concerts take place mainly in the central region of Rio, but will also pass through Catete, Botafogo and Copacabana.
