The first time João Pedro and I talked about the possibility of this work was on the commemorations of the centenary end of the First World War. The Joyful Concert made sense again to me as a celebration of the end of another dark period in humanity history, nothing comparable to the First World War, but still bizarre enough for us to celebrate its end: 2020 and 2021. After everything I've lived through, I still think that nothing, absolutely nothing, should override the exercise of freedom. May this work take us for a moment to the good side of Humanity or encourage us to build it.

Jorge Salgueiro, 2023
