About this concert
Depois de vários concertos esgotados, Piano Para Piano está de regressa a Lisboa e estreia-se no Porto. Este espetáculo junta em palco Rodrigo Leão e a filha Rosa num diálogo entre dois pianos acústicos.
Rodrigo Leão é o primeiro a dizer que não é pianista, mas a verdade é que o piano tem surgido na sua obra como um complemento dos sintetizadores que já usou bastas vezes para escrever memoráveis melodias e pensar nos envolventes arranjos a que foi dando corpo com os ensembles que criou. Agora, o notável compositor português prepara-se para nova aventura: Piano Para Piano é um projeto que nasceu depois de uma encomenda do Festival de Piano em Vila Nova de Cerveira, desafio que o levou a compor duas novas peças que são também o princípio de um novo caminho.
“Acho interessante”, revela Rodrigo, “que eu que não tenho qualquer formação como pianista possa estabelecer um diálogo com quem estudou e estuda seriamente o instrumento”. Nesse primeiro momento no evento minhoto a sua interlocutora foi Rosa, sua filha, que conta 19 anos e será também ela que irá acompanhar o pai agora neste espetáculo. Vai ser interessante escutar estas peças como as ouço na minha imaginação. A imaginação não tem os mesmos limites que as minhas mãos”, explica Rodrigo. “Pode ir tão longe quanto a criatividade ditar”.
