AuthorshipSCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

    Abstract

    The present paper explores the extraordinary life of cellist Jacqueline du Pré, her remarkable contribution to music, and her battle with multiple sclerosis (MS). Beyond her artistic impact, we discuss how her story influenced the creation of the Brazilian Multiple Sclerosis Association (Associação Brasileira de Esclerose Múltipla, ABEM, in Portuguese) and its cultural significance in Brazil, particularly through the play Duet for One, by Tom Kempinski. The study reflects on the role of art as a powerful tool to raise awareness and contribute to the understanding of diseases.
