Have you noticed that from the moment they are sown, trees always remain in the same place, where they feed, protect and reproduce themselves?
They’re not like us, born in a country and able to travel or even move to the other side of the planet. And just as music is different from continent to continent, we can find very different trees around the world: trees that are actual houses, others that move crowds to be admired, others that produce material that has already reached the moon…
But I don’t wish to ruin the surprise: in my concert I will tell you stories about the wonderful world of trees with the help of a great little instrument: the toy piano!

Joana Gama is a Portuguese pianist who is involved in multiple projects, both solo and in collaborations in the fields of cinema, dance, theatre, photography and music.
She has a PhD from the University of Évora and continues her research as a member of CESEM. Her discography can be found on the Shhpuma, Room40, mpmp, Pianola, Grand Piano, Boca/Douda Correria and Holuzam labels.
Fascinated by the idea of music that is almost silence, or music that invites contemplation, she has performed music by Erik Satie, John Cage, Federico Mompou and Hans Otte in recent years.
This is her third creation for younger audiences, after Nocturno (co-created with Victor Hugo Pontes) and Eu gosto muito do Senhor Satie. In 2022 she premiered Pássaros & Cogumelos, the 2nd chapter of the work begun in As árvores não têm pernas para andar.
She is currently preparing the 3rd chapter of this trilogy, which will be entitled E as flores?
