In "Aleppo and other silences", Lu?s Tinoco brings together chamber music compositions written between 1998 and 2021. With the collaboration of 20 outstanding portuguese musicians on the national and international scene. The title, ?Aleppo?, was chosen to meet the context of its premiere, to be featured in a concert under the concept ?Crossings?. Crossings of languages and diverse sources but, also, of different geographies. The word has the double meaning of ?passing through? and ?intersection?. And, therefore, Luis Tinoco tried to write a piece that would cross different musical sources - with a special interest in the Middle East - and that would pay tribute to those that daily put their lives in risk crossing the Mediterranean Sea, escaping from various conflicts and adversity.
