    Dulce Pontes is one of Portugal’s most widely acclaimed fado singers. Her last album, Focus, a collection of songs by Italian composer Ennio Morricone, went gold in just one week. Maestro Morricone himself praised Ponte as “so complete, so incredibly varied, that I have to say she touches all the aspects of singing.” Read Complete Program Notes
