At the invitation of the Family Film Project, Alexandre Soares presents a concert compose by musical themes that somehow reflect the career of the musician and composer. The concert mixes archival music with unreleased themes. From collaborations with choreographer Né Barros, who between 1999-2017 composed music for fourteen shows, to the archive of sounds never shared, through compositions from the most experimental domain, the program constitutes a privileged moment to listen and remember an artist with a unique work. With Angélica Salvi (Harp) and Pedro Oliveira (Percussion)
