Three Cultures Foundation offers concert by the harpist Helena Madeira

The Three Cultures Foundation, as part of its European project INTREPIDA plus, is organising a new event to highlight the work of women, in this case in the world of music. On this occasion, the Portuguese harpist Helena Madeira will offer a delightful musical repertoire with influences from the three monotheistic cultures and religions.

This artist, based in Silves, in the south of Portugal, has extensive training in singing and harp. She studied Anthropology and Italian language at the same moment she was at the National Conservatory of Music in Lisbon.

Between 2006 and 2015 she was the vocalist of the world music group MU, with which she recorded the album 'Casanostra' in 2009 and 'Folhas que Ardem' in 2012 and with which she performed live in some of the most prestigious world music venues such as the Plasencia Folk Festival, the Sines World Music Festival, the Sufi Sutra Festival in India or the Penang World Music Festival in Malaysia, among others.

In 2014 she began her solo career, with her first solo album: Da voz do Embondeiro, in which she delves into the roots of the music of the medieval period of the Iberian Peninsula.

Helena Madeira has continued her work of research and dissemination of traditional music until the perfection of her second album, Cenário Divergente, presented in 2020. Her repertoire usually includes music of Sephardic origin.

The activity is free of charge and places are limited, with prior registration through the Three Cultures Foundation website.
