In 2015 I was on the island of F\u00e5r\u00f6, for my second stay as an\u00a0artist in residence at the Ingmar Bergman Estate. I had finished my third opera “Cries and Whispers”<\/a>, inspired by the film of the same name. The director of Bergman Center<\/a>, Helen Linn\u00e9, wanted to present the full opera\u00a0during Bergman Week, which was not possible for practical reasons. She then proposed an instrumental with themes from the work, for wind quintet and cello. I was honored to have this piece presented as the main feature in the opening ceremony, at the church, on the ground of which the director lies buried. This was an emotional performance for me, scenes from it and its rehearsals\u00a0can be seen in the documentary “A Ilha”<\/a> by Lais de Azeredo and Pedro Urano.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nHere you can listen to the complete piece and follow the score.<\/h4>\n
