There are many references to music in Camilo's work. On the other hand, many composers were inspired by the novelist's life and work. Professor Rui Mesquita proposes to present and comment on some of the most important manifestations of this relationship between Camilo and music, interpreting them with the collaboration of students from the Camilo Castelo Branco School Group.
