Where the Earth Ends

Solo Piano Recital

"All music and all art must somehow touch people's hearts, because that's where music and art come from: from the fatum, the thought and the feeling of each creative figure."

Pedro Emanuel Pereira

After "Russian Journey", an album entirely dedicated to works by Prokofiev and Rachmaninov, and " Sounds of My Homeland", an album that reflects the sounds of the pianist's homeland, Pedro Emanuel Pereira presents a new solo piano project.

Recorded in 2022 at the Casa da Música in Porto, and mastered in spatial audio, "Aonde a Terra Acaba" aims to create a link between Portuguese contemporary music and German European music.

For this recital programme, which stems from the homonymous work "Aonde a Terra Acaba" by Pedro Emanuel Pereira, the artist incorporates works by four contemporary Portuguese composers, who are celebrating their jubilee in 2025, correlating them with the music of German authors from the romantic period.

The record album "Aonde a Terra Acaba" was supported by DGARTES - Portuguese Republic.
