Jazz Nights at Real Vinícola with Guillermo Klein, Hot Clube and Ana Lua Caiano
The programme kicks off on 6 June with the Argentine composer and pianist Guillermo Klein, who joins the OJM to perform *Querer*. This is followed, on the 13th, by the Hot Clube de Portugal Jazz Orchestra, which celebrates 35 years of activity with the programme *Impermanência(s)*. On 20 June, multi-instrumentalist Ana Lua Caiano reunites with the OJM in a concert that blends tradition and electronic music. The series concludes on 21 June with Grande Pesca Sonora, a show from the OJM’s Educational Programme that brings together on stage over 100 participants, aged between five and 70.
Months after the release of his album Querer, Guillermo Klein returns to Portugal for a live reunion with the Matosinhos Jazz Orchestra. Recognised as one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary composition, both within and beyond jazz, the musician conducts a concert featuring original compositions and arrangements of pieces by artists such as Ornette Coleman, Joshua Redman, Julio Santos Espinozsa and Carlo Mombelli. The soundscape of Querer combines traditional rhythms with references to 20th-century Argentine classical music, creating highly expressive musical landscapes.
On 13 June, the stage belongs to the Hot Clube de Portugal Jazz Orchestra, under the musical direction of Pedro Moreira. With *Impermanência(s)*, the ensemble offers a reflection on the boundaries of the traditional jazz orchestra, exploring the tension between improvisation and composition, and between the collective and the individual. The project also focuses on creating original works in collaboration with Portuguese composers, fostering a dialogue between contemporary classical and improvised music.
Following a sold-out concert at Casa da Música, Ana Lua Caiano rejoins the OJM on 20 June to revisit her repertoire with new arrangements for big band, under the musical direction of Pedro Guedes. The artist, one of the most prominent of her generation, blends elements of Portuguese tradition with synthesizers, beat machines and everyday sounds, creating a language that combines the past with the present.
The closing event, on 21 June, will be led by the OJM Educational Programme with Grande Pesca Sonora. Inspired by the history of the canning industry in Matosinhos, the show brings together a vast intergenerational collective on stage. The pieces presented are the result of original creations developed by the programme’s various groups, with arrangements by Diogo Novo, and also include the premiere of a commission for composer Catarina Ribeiro.
The concerts begin at 6.00 pm and admission is free, subject to venue capacity.
