Lopes-Graça String Quartet with soprano Nataša Šibalić

Lopes-Graça String Quartet from Lisbon, an ensemble that celebrates, in 2025, its 20th anniversary, has regularly performed concerts in Portugal and many countries around the world. For the occasion of anniversary, they will play on three different tours, three different continents and cultural traditions: Brazil, Mozambique and Serbia. They aim to perform those programs both in Portugal and chosen countries.

For this concert in Novi Sad, of their Serbian tour, together with the Serbian soprano Nataša Šibalić, they explore Balkan sounds through the music of Isidora Žebeljan (author which is mostly known in Portugal through the soundtracks for movies and which they intend to present thoroughly to the Portuguese audience) as well as one of the most important Portuguese musical references – Joly Braga Santos. They are also performing the Quartet for strings by  Maurice Ravel, whose 150th anniversary we celebrate this year, and a work, in world premiere, for Soprano and Quartet  by César Viana – on texts of Serbian women poets.
