In partnership with Pequenas Sessões, Quartas de Improviso (Seminal Records), and the CHIII festival, we present the duos Diane Labrosse (CA) + Patrícia Bizzotto, followed by Charlotte Hug (CL) and Luiz Pretti.
Charlotte Hug (CH)
Swiss composer, performer, and visual artist Charlotte Hug is internationally known for her solo performances and inter-medial compositions. She won many awards and residencies in London, Paris, Berlin, Johannesburg and Shanghai; She was Artiste Étoile at the world-renowned Lucerne Festival.
Luiz Pretti
Director, editor, improvisational musician, and percussionist. Partner at the Minas Gerais-based production company Errante. He develops interdisciplinary works, mainly exploring the relationship between music and cinema. He created works like the film-score Anestesia with Marco Scarassatti, with whom he has done several projects and maintains a musical-cinematic duo.
Quartas de Improviso, or QI, has been held in Belo Horizonte since 2013, with 180 events and 16 seasons so far (seasons 11-16 supported by the municipal culture incentive law). QIs are performance-events where experimental music by residents occasionally interacts with guests from various artistic and even non-artistic fields: from dance to video, rap to yoga classes, lectures, and manicures. They have been held in various spaces, including Teatro Espanca!, Galeria Mama/Cadela, La Gruta, recently also at the Centro de Referência das Juventudes, the Música Quente producer’s office, and Impressões de Minas. Since season 15 in 2022, Patrícia Bizzotto, Marco Scarassatti, and Henrique Iwao have been resident musicians, also acting as curators of the event and forming the Trio QI.
Pequenas Sessões is a festival that has been held since 2008 in the city of Belo Horizonte. Its proposal is to conduct artistic exchanges.
