About event
Launch of the Book-DVD
"THE ORGAN OF THE CHURCH OF SÃO VICENTE DE FORA"
The event will feature interventions:
João Vaz and Luís Nazaré Gomes
Recital by organists:
João Vaz and Beatriz Resendes
Built in 1765 by the organist of Galician origin João Fontanes de Maqueira, the organ of the Church of São Vicente de Fora (eventually the largest and most important Portuguese historical organ) was the subject of a thorough restoration in 1993-94, carried out by organists Christine Vetter and Claudio Rainolter. The series of concerts held since then (only interrupted during the church works and during the pandemic) achieved notable success with the public and became one of the most consistent organic events in the city of Lisbon.
The DVD-Book, now published, includes excerpts from concerts by internationally renowned performers (Olivier Latry, Hans-Ola Ericsson, Jan Willem Jansen, Maurizio Croci, Jean Ferrard, José Luis González Uriol, among many others), but also the history and characteristics of the São Vicente de Fora organ, explained by João Vaz (main organist since 1997). In addition to enjoying the sound of the instrument, the public will have access to countless historical and technical data and images revealing the plastic beauty of this masterpiece of organ art in Portugal.
Free entry: access through the main door of the church .
