SONNETS<\/strong> is an artistic project of original musical works created from sonnets (twelve in total) by Lu\u00eds Vaz de Cam\u00f5es<\/strong>, Antero de Quental<\/strong>, and Florbela Espanca<\/strong>, central figures in the Portuguese literary heritage. The music emerges directly from the structure, meter, and musicality of the Portuguese language, respecting the poetic text as the foundational material of contemporary creation. By transforming the sonnet into a contemporary sound object, the project values Portuguese poetry as a living heritage, promoting a renewed listening to the word and reinforcing the role of the Portuguese language as a vehicle for artistic expression in the present. Created and performed by the artistic creation structure Cl\u00e1ssica Ensemble<\/strong>, the concert establishes a dialogue between tradition and contemporaneity, affirming musical creation as a space of cultural continuity.<\/p>\n
