Amazônia Jazz Band holds musical programs in Marabá
Shows, educational concert, and workshop take place on September 4, 5, and 6
Between September 4 and 6, the Amazônia Jazz Band arrives in Marabá, a municipality located in the Carajás Integration Region, with an intense program of concerts conducted by the principal conductor Eduardo Lima and workshops organized by the Pará Music Academy (APM).
The Secretary of State for Culture, Ursula Vidal, explains that the State Government's policy of audience formation and professionalization of orchestras and artistic bodies gains more beautiful dimensions with the possibility of circulation and interiorization. “We have already performed in some UsiPaz (Usinas da Paz) outside of Belém, reaching the Metropolitan Region and other municipalities. Now, we arrive in the southeastern region of Pará with two performances in different locations for different audiences, ensuring an exchange with musicians and instrumentalists from the region, making our presence throughout Pará a celebration of the shows and exchanges among music professionals,” she emphasizes.
This initiative is a realization of the Government of Pará, through the Secretary of State for Culture (Secult), Theatro da Paz, APM, with master sponsorship from the Vale Cultural Institute via the Federal Law of Incentive to Culture and support from the City Hall of Marabá, through the Marabá Cultural House Foundation.
