Description

In 1930, the patron and singer Ema Romero Câmara Reis (ERCR) organized “Considerações sobre o Lied”, a concert that exclusively presented works composed and performed by women, which stands out for this uncommon involvement of women musicians that is scarcely documented in musicological descriptions of the period’s context. This proposal describes and discusses the artistic research presentation Sons ocultos, sons revelados (2024), focusing on the experimental recreation of the 1930 concert. This revisitation, also entirely performed by women, was based on archival work in ERCR’s collection at the National Library of Portugal.
