Going to London

The Going to London Project

The author of this website – Álvaro Nascimento Vieira – is also the composer of some classical pieces and this page is dedicated to make public one of them.

Concerto Grosso #1 was first performed in Brazil in 2012 (a new invitation was made to perform it again in September, 2018, in Rio de Janeiro) but the composer’s dream always was to watch it in England.

Álvaro was in London last August to search for someone who may help him to fullfil his dream. This person could be you, right now, reading this words – and, if that’s the case, below you’ll find the scores and some other links.

To make contact with the composer, please fill the form here.
