The program Danças para Alaúde and Traverso Solo is emblematic for the challenge of its interpretation. Guilherme de Camargo presents in the exotic baroque lute a mixed suite with music by Bach and the great lute player of his time, Leopold Weiss. Along the way, Artur Elias performs the only solo piece that Bach wrote for the instrument. This concert has the support of the Metropolitan Cathedral of Porto Alegre.

GUILHERME DE CAMARGO
Guilherme de Camargo holds a doctorate in musicology from the University of São Paulo and graduated with a master's degree in musicology and a bachelor's degree in classical guitar from the same institution. He has been standing out as one of the most important instruments of ancient plucked strings in Brazil, taking music for lute, theorba, baroque guitar, wire guitar and romantic guitar to concert halls throughout Brazil and abroad. In addition to his activity as a soloist, he is considered the most active player of old plucked strings in ensembles or orchestras in the country, with works performed with Osesp, the São Paulo State Symphonic Band and the Coral Paulistano, among others. His performances have taken him to concert halls in China, France, Spain, Portugal, Finland, Bolivia, Argentina, Paraguay and Ecuador, as well as throughout Brazil. Owner of a discography that includes more than a dozen titles, he is also dedicated to teaching, in regular courses (with the nucleus of early music at Emesp – SP) and in workshops and lectures throughout Brazil.

ARTUR ELIAS
Artur Elias Carneiro became the 1st flutist of the Porto Alegre Symphony Orchestra at the age of 19. Awarded in several national competitions. Numerous recitals and concerts as a soloist in front of several Brazilian orchestras. Intense activity as chamber clerk. A graduate of the OSPA School of Music, he graduated from the Arts Institute of UFRGS, and deepened his musical studies in Stuttgart, Germany, where he lived for almost three years. He naturally travels through terrains as diverse as avantgarde music, baroque music (performed with period instruments), and South American popular music. A born camerist, he founded several ensembles that marked the musical life of RS in the last twenty years: Duo Porto Alegre, Trio Tonus, Duo Diálogos, Collegium Musicum, Capela Instrumentale, Instrumental Quartet, Ensemble Gnattali, among others. Nominated for the Açorianos Award 2005, in the Best Instrumentalist category. With support from MinC, he toured with Ensemble Gnattali in Germany and Switzerland in 2010.
