"Echo Antiqua" is a project by the Duo GuitHarmony, inspired by Portuguese cultural identity and traditions, it invites 11 Portuguese composers to create original works for harp and guitar, an unusual and still little-explored instrumental formation.

​

The composers part of the project are: Ana Seara · Anne Vitorino d’Almeida · André M. Santos · Bruno Gabirro · Carlos Gutkin · Eurico Carrapatoso · Francisco Lima da Silva · Henrique Piloto · Mariana Vieira · Nuno Henriques · Pedro Figueiredo.

​

The works will be recorded on a CD and complemented by original illustrations by Ângela Vieira and poems by Portuguese authors recited by actress Paula Freitas. The graphic identity will be in charge of Magda Pedrosa.

​

Through concerts and meetings aimed at music students, the project seeks to bring contemporary creation to different audiences and regions of the country.

Artistic direction and coordination are ensured by Ana Guerreiro and Beatrix Schmidt.
