Orquestra Juvenil Geração
Launched 17 years ago, Orquestra Geração is a project focusing on social intervention through music, active in five municipalities in the Lisbon metropolitan area, and in Coimbra, Tondela and Castanheira de Pêra. Orquestra Geração brings music education and orchestra practice to schools, combining aesthetic and cultural training with a powerful tool for promoting school success, territorial cohesion and new life opportunities, embracing cultural and human diversity in all its forms.
Gioachino Rossini
Anne Victorino de Almeida in collaboration with Edison Otero
Joly Braga Santos
Arturo Marquez
Richard Wagner
The concert marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of Portuguese composer Joly Braga Santos, with his emblematic Concert for String Orchestra, together with opera overtures and repertoire with a Latin American influence. Of particular note is Anne Victorino d’Almeida’s piece, composed under B-Me (Blending melodies: bridging cultural identities), a European co-creation and cultural exchange project that brings together the Portugal, Cyprus and Greece Youth Symphony Orchestra systems.
The concert will be conducted by Juan Carlos Maggiorani and Santiago Ossa Alzate.
Proceeds from ticket sales will go to Orquestra Geração.
