Sakamoto 1996

A tribute to the acclaimed Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto, who passed away in March 2023, this performance is a video art concert featuring piano, violin, cello, and a strong multimedia component.
This musical trio is one of the few ensembles in the world to present the work "1996" in concert, performed according to the original scores available in a limited and rare edition supervised by the composer himself, and with which Sakamoto undertook two world tours.
"The Last Emperor," "Babel," "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence," and "Wuthering Heights" are some of the iconic soundtracks whose music (some of it) makes up the album "1996," released in the same year. Sakamoto's work evokes an eclectic range of influences, from traditional Japanese music to the work of classical composers such as Bach, Debussy, and Schumann.
The concert also includes works by composer/arranger and project mentor João Vasco, which are part of his album "2016" - created in homage to Sakamoto and presented on an international tour between 2019 and 2023, in countries on 4 continents.

NOTE: All the music in this concert is accompanied by multimedia video art pieces, conceived specifically for this project.
