Events

Luís Miguel Clemente conducts this concert, which takes us on a journey through three centuries of Portuguese symphonic music full of sound contrasts and which will occupy the Sala Suggia of Casa da Música of Porto.

The program won't disappointed: the Giocosa Overture, by Sérgio Azevedo, sweeps away with its contagious rhythms and bold harmonies. Then, in a more classical-romantic vein and in world premiere, there is the grandiose Symphony No. 2 by Bomtempo. Finally, Divertimento n.o 1 by Joly Braga Santos, one of the great names of Portuguese music of the twentieth century, a work that surprises by its energy, by the enormous technical and artistic challenges it poses to the musicians, and by the apotheotic and absolutely extraordinary ending.
