However, he was quite prolific and achieved a prominent place in the first decades of the 20th century. His upward path is also a milestone in a society of Victorian values, recognizing a black composer as one of the most distinguished peers of his time. Alan Shulman was born in the USA into a family that emigrated from the Russian Empire, growing up surrounded by music, where his character as a child prodigy stands out. As a cellist, he plays in the best American orchestras and forms the mythical Stuyvesant Quartet. As an arranger, he collaborates with Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole or Ella Fitzgerald.

This concert proposes to expand our horizons as listeners, rediscovering two composers whose work needs greater dissemination, with both works being heard as probable national premieres.

In 2019 I went around the country on an auditorium tour that I called Casca de Noz. Me, without a script, alone on stage, supported by my instruments and my music. The adventure went through the main movie theaters in the country and ended with a double session at the Porto Coliseum. At the time, I was still only halfway through what is my edited discography. I feel like it justifies a new season. From time to time my songs feel like walking around the way they came into the world. And I have a lot that I haven’t played live yet. Come!
