World Premiere of "SOL A PINO" for Orchestra (2019)

'O solstício dos trópicos que nos expõe a altas temperaturas, o pino do meio-dia onde já não há mais sombra sobre o homem...'

🔸 The tropical solstice exposes us to high temperatures, the zenith of high noon where no shadow is left below a man. "SOL A PINO" ("zenith sun") is a sort of spiral of affects, where the restlessness therein reflects itself on its nature of perpetual change.
