Since “Quest” was first conceived in 2014, Joana Gama and Luís Fernandes have kept up with their regular collaboration, one that intersects piano and electronic music. Responding to an invitation to participate in the Westway Lab programming of 2017, Joana Gama and Luís Fernandes will present their newest creation, this time accompanied by the Orquestra de Guimarães. The duo has ventured off into new territory and is taking the orchestra with them and out of their comfort zone. In this original work for piano, electronic instruments and ensemble – for which José Alberto Gomes has done the orchestration and arranging – the sound that characterized Quest is now amplified and made more complex. The potential of timbre that orchestra instruments offer will expand this piece and will serve as both a reinforcement and as a counterpoint.
