About this concert
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. 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. Mas os outros filhos de Rodrigo, António, de 21, e Sofia, de 16, poderão igualmente juntar-se neste projeto em que Rodrigo escreve peças elaboradas que são entregues às experientes mãos de quem há anos estuda piano. “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”. Piano Para Piano é por isso mesmo uma viagem ao maravilhoso desconhecido com assinatura de um dos mais celebrados compositores portugueses.
Rodrigo Leão é acompanhado por António Leão no espetáculo de celebração do aniversário do Cineteatro Louletano.
