Notas de Contacto – A OCP Solidária na Cercioeiras

For 36 months, professional musicians from the Portuguese Chamber Orchestra (OCP) worked with 105 people with various types of disability from Cerci Oeiras. Through artistic practice, the aim was for the participants to develop, in addition to musical skills, cognitive skills capable of helping them in their daily lives.

Liliana ‘Do you know who I have in my living room? My boyfriend.’ ‘Does your boyfriend play too?’ ‘He plays a little. He's left-handed.’
Vítor “What I like most is playing. But sometimes it's a little difficult because I'm afraid of getting the tempo wrong, and sometimes I have to look at the score.”
Ana Dias “We have a young man with trisomy 21 who we suspect has traces of autism. He has abilities and also many difficulties, and music has managed to reach him in a way that no one else has been able to.”

Project supported under the 2nd edition of the PARTIS initiative.
