The successful singer-songwriter Alceu Valença blends his musical roots from Pernambuco with contemporary grooves.

A unique collaboration with the orchestra from Minas Gerais will be showcased in four countries in early 2025, including the Netherlands. The concert brings together themes from the two live albums that form the essence of the project: Valencianas I, recorded in Belo Horizonte in 2014 and winner of the Brazilian Music Award, and Valencianas II, recorded at the Casa da Música in Porto, Portugal, in 2020.

Under the direction of Rodrigo Toffolo and arranged by Mateus Freire, the show—conceived by cultural producer Paulo Rogério Lage—offers a versatile and refined perspective on the work of one of Brazil's most significant musical artists.

The repertoire includes Alceu Valença's iconic songs—Anunciação, Belle De Jour, Tropicana, Coração Bobo, Girassol, Cavalo de Pau, Como Dois Animais, Táxi Lunar—complemented by treasures from his oeuvre (Sino de Ouro, Sete Desejos, Junho, Dia Branco), interspersed with Alceu's own orchestral themes, Acende a Luz and the suite Valencianas, written by Mateus Freire and inspired by various musical references from the composer’s body of work.
