Comprising singer Nélia Gonçalves and pianist Filipe Cerqueira, formed in 2024 this duo focuses primarily on performing vocal and piano music from the 19th and 20th centuries. Their lyrical and classical repertoire includes works by Benjamin Britten, Claude Debussy, Luís de Freitas Branco, Maurice Ravel, and Vaughan Williams.

Committed to presenting audiences with musical horizons defined by diversity and complementarity, Duo Larimar also seeks to incorporate jazz-influenced sounds and material from the world of musical theater — featuring composers such as George Gershwin, Leonard Bernstein, and Kurt Weill — into its programming.

A key objective for Duo Larimar, both now and in the future, is to develop musical projects that foster close, interactive engagement with the audience. In an era where human emotions are at the forefront and the sharing of feelings is increasingly encouraged, the duo aims to present a recital designed for a broad, inclusive audience, one that transcends boundaries.

The performance offers a musical portrait blending sounds that evoke and awaken increasingly deep sensations of sensuality and charm, as well as tenderness, comfort, and a sense of security. Themes of childhood also feature prominently, conveyed through lullabies and tales of fantasy linked to dreams, the night, and the natural world.
