Mensagem Ensemble @ Kühlspot Social Club

„A breath of music or of a dream, of something that would make me almost feel,
something that would make me not think.“ (Pessoa / Soares, The Book of Disquiet)

The 'Mensagem Ensemble' with his extraordinary cast of countertenor, viola, cello, vibraphone and double bass, dedicates his music to the prose and poems of Fernando Pessoa and his heteronyms Alberto Caeiro, Ricardo Reis and Álvaro de Campos. In the music, the shadows of Arvo Pärt and Steve Reich meet in a Tabacceria, the ghosts of John Dowland and Philip Glass sit around the midday hour over a glass of wine.
