Márcio Silva and the Opus Trio present a performance celebrating the tradition, identity, and expressiveness of the Portuguese guitar. Through a carefully selected repertoire, the audience is invited to explore the soundscapes of Portuguese instrumental music in a journey that reveals Portugal’s melodic richness and invaluable musical heritage.

The program brings together some of the most representative works from the traditional Portuguese guitar repertoire, composed by artists who played a decisive role in the history of the instrument and contributed to establishing its artistic identity.

The works are presented in original arrangements for Portuguese guitar and string trio—classical guitar, violin, and cello—designed to preserve the authenticity of each composition while enriching its tonal color and expressive power. The result is a dialogue between tradition and contemporary interpretation, offering a new perspective on a musical heritage of extraordinary artistic value.
