ODE and Outra Voz: two community projects working together to promote music
Directly from the cities of Braga and Guimarães (respectively), the projects ODE – Orchestra of Electronic Devices and Outra Voz come together on stage for the first time to celebrate improvisation and technological, and vocal experimentation.
Scheduled for September 6, at 6:00 p.m. in the Salão Medieval of the Rectory of the University of Minho (Braga), the concert is part of the Clube Raiz by Braga 25 – Portuguese Capital of Culture and the Braga White Night program.
Between innovation and tradition, hypnotic voices and melodies echo. Sharing the stage for the first time, ODE – Electronic Devices Orchestra and the collective Outra Voz – composed of members of the community from two cities in the Minho region: Braga and Guimarães – present a unique collaborative concert, where technology, and vocal and gestural expression take on the same tone to reveal the encounter between art and the human dimension.
Part of Clube Raiz by Braga 25 – Portuguese Capital of Culture (curated by Ilídio Marques) and presented during Braga's White Night, the show brings together the electronic instruments of ODE – led by harpist and composer Angélica Salvi – and the vocal talent of the group Outra Voz – under the artistic direction of Carlos A. Correia - in a friendly and unique face-to-face encounter, full of innovation, tradition, and emotion.
A moment not to be missed, on September 6, at 6:00 p.m., in the Salão Medieval of the Rectory of the University of Minho. Admission is free. Learn more about ODE at bragamediaarts.com/ODE and about Outra Voz at facebook.com/OutraVoz.
This year, auditions for the ODE reopen with the arrival of the new September-December season. Anyone who wants to be part of the Circuit orchestra [regardless of age and/or musical training] can apply by emailing circuito@bragamediaarts.com.
