After ten years of programming, according to the theme country, Casa da Música expands its vision and turns to the "New World" next year. It was the Florentine researcher, Amerigo Vespucci, who defended the existence of a new continent in the sixteenth century, full of mysteries and riches, and wrote to the patron, Lourenço de Medici, the famous letter that could be called Mundus Novus. From North to South, America has given the world a mix of sound and music contributed by the confrontation between local music and European colonial music. Musical genres such as tango, jazz, samba or bossa nova were born on the American continent. "The new world has a very poor approbation attitude and the use of popular music in erudite compositions," explains António Jorge Pacheco.
The artistic director of Casa da Música says that the marriage between great European compositions and music from local American and African nations is a "tradition that is very different from the European musical tradition", thus creating a "very rich repertoire". After studying musical works in Brazil and the United States in 2009 and 2010, Casa da Música returns to American sounds and in January reveals the "New World" with the festival. Give the world a new world. Czech composer Antonin Dvorak, a European resident in New York, deserves special mention with the famous New World Symphony, which will be "inspired by the songs of cotton plantation workers", that is, slave music.

Various groups of dwellings, such as the Baroque Orchestra, Remix ensemble and Symphony, will cover this musical genre from Pergolesi Baroque to the varied Jörg Widmann, a German clarinet player, conductor and composer for 400 years.

"Widmann is one of the current events in international music," says António Jorge Pacheco, adding that the musician "will be an artist living in these three qualities and always with his works." Classical music giants such as Mozart, Wagner or Strauss will also take part in the cycle. It is also worth mentioning Music and revolution, which will allow a detailed look at the work of the Hungarian composer Gjörgy Ligeti, "an excellent 20th century revolutionary," says António Jorge Pacheco.
