Vitorino de Almeida, a Portuguese among the great masters

Observador8 September 2026 at 06:02

Vitorino de Almeida is a Portuguese composer who figures among the great masters in an exhibition, being the only Portuguese portrayed in this event. In addition to being the only Portuguese representative, he is also the only one still alive among the masters exhibited.

Manuel dos Santos knew the face of Vitorino de Almeida. The composer even crossed paths with Vitorino de Almeida in Lisbon, although they never exchanged words with each other. This exhibition thus presents a portrait that connects two names of music, one already deceased and another still active.
