Jaguar World From Issue 169 From April 2016

Artist Portfolio Magazine was created by artists for artists over 6 years ago and is still going strong. ​ All art in this issue is from our 2016 Abstracts Art Exhibition. ​Artist Portfolio Magazine is now a quarterly magazine and will feature double the art. So, that means more opportunities for artists to be featured in our magazine.

Das bereits zur Tradition gewordene Osterkonzert des Bach Consort Wien unter der Leitung von Ruben Dubrovsky wird am 19. Marz 2016 erstmals im Stift Klosterneuburg stattfinden.

Few things could have prepared society for the global pandemic that gripped the world from 2020-21. From that darkness, however, there emerged numerous avenues for creative reflection. Musicians suddenly had a lot of time on their hands, and an opportunity to develop their art in new and ambitious directions. During this period, Portuguese composer Pedro Faria Gomes, whose imaginative and communicative music combines clear originality with a confident respect for tradition, turned to the piano. His initial idea was to write a variation on two sets of four notes. Faria shared the resulting movement with pianist Kenneth Hamilton, his colleague at Cardiff University School of Music. Hamilton was impressed with the piece, and a plan evolved to compose a more elaborate work. This developed into the ten movement, strikingly thought-provoking Suite J–the 'J' refers to Faria's daughter Joana–recorded for the first time on this disc.
