At National Sawdust, *Estrela Acesa* is presented as a live classical program that also speaks to younger listeners, keeping the room attentive without simplifying the music. Featured performers Sergio Sayeg and Sessa move between composed material and a looser, song-rooted sensibility, letting tone and rhythm carry the narrative. In a city where “family” programming is often separated from contemporary classical stages, this pairing feels deliberate. It reads less like a crossover bid than a quiet argument for shared listening across ages.
