Dia 31 de Outubro
Projecção do filme “Nosferatu” de F. W. Murnau a partir das 22h30. 10€ para não sócios, entrada gratuita para sócios.
Nuno Costa – guitarra e laptop; Óscar Graça – piano, teclados e laptop
O projecto “Filme-Concerto” nasce da paixão pelo cinema e pela composição musical que o guitarrista Nuno Costa e o pianista Óscar Graça partilham. Desenvolvendo inúmeros projectos desde 2005, ano em que se especializaram na prestigiada Berklee College of Music em Boston, têm colaborado com vários realizadores e produtores do meio audiovisual e multimédia, desenvolvendo diversos projectos musicais na área das artes visuais. A partir de filmes considerados marcos históricos do cinema e transportando para o presente uma técnica comum nos primórdios do cinema e da exibição de filmes mudos, este projecto assenta numa recriação e apresentação ao vivo da banda sonora composta para o filme em projecção. Recorrendo a alguns dos mais modernos instrumentos de interpretação e criação musical, são criados diferentes ambientes e elementos sonoros para dar “voz” às fortes emoções transmitidas pelas imagens.
Este projecto tem como objectivo não apenas o de tentar modernizar ou actualizar, mas antes, o de reavivar filmes basilares na história do cinema. Conta já com diversas participações em festivais e iniciativas ligadas à sétima arte, destacando-se o Ciclo Invicta.Música.Filmes na Casa da Música, Fike, Faial Filmes Fest, Encontros de Viana, entre muitos outros.
“Nosferatu: Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens” Realizador: F.W Murnau Ano: 1922
Knock, um agente imobiliário, recebe um pedido do conde Orlok para comprar uma casa. Este manda o seu empregado, Huttler, viajar até à terra do conde, a Transilvânia, para concretizar o negócio. Orlok não é mais que Nosferatu, um vampiro que faz tudo para conquistar a bela mulher de Huttler que, segundo ele, tem um belo pescoço… Versão não autorizada de “Dracula” de Bram Stroker. Para poder fazer este filme, Murnau teve de alterar o nome das personagens para não ser confundido com o original. No entanto, foi processado em tribunal pela viúva de Stroker e este ordenou que todas as cópias do filme fossem destruídas. Felizmente, algumas salvaram-se…

Coming from the vanguard of the New Wave of Nordic Jazz, Wako are one of the most dynamic and innovative groups on the scene. Touring extensively since 2015, they have honed their stagecraft and performances, garnering a solid fanbase and critical acclaim along the way. Described as having “buoyancy and originality” by Terje Mosnes (Jazz i Norge, NO), as possessing “a very personal and distinctive sound” (Mike Collin, London Jazz News, UK), and as creating music that “would melt even the blackest heart” (Bird is the Worm, USA), Wako have brought their ever-evolving musicianship and creativity to impressive live renditions of their work across Europe, including collaborative performances with Oslo Strings and with Norwegian trumpeter ne plus ultra, Arve Henriksen. The scope of their musical reach is always finely attuned in equal measures to audience, environment and source material, meaning not only is each concert superlative, but also a unique experience. In short, Wako are one of the most impressive young live acts today, signalling a healthy future for jazz in Norway and beyond.

It comprises an extended network of musicians and artists from all over the world and is constantly communicating with other art genres such as classic, new music, dance, theatre and fine arts. Their performance always involves an exchange with the attending audience.
The jazzENSEMBLE düsseldorf is a collective of jazz musicians from Düsseldorf – everyone for himself a professional musician, teacher, composer and arranger. Almost all of the musicians have been honored with the city’s advancement award. Each musician is an experienced national and international player, and they are all related with each other in jazz and Düsseldorf.
The jazzensemble DÜSSELDORF is a creative think tank representing the city’s culture and reinventing its music. The topic is Düsseldorf, music is its language. The musical performance refers to Kraftwerk, Düsseldorf carnival, Heine and “Hosen”. The input is manifold and poses a fascinating challenge to the expert composers and experienced players. The musical freedom and flexibility of jazz is the framework of this project.
