Music
Filomúsica Ensemble
From Natal de Elvas, O Tannenbaum and Adeste Fideles to Schubert’s Ave Maria, there’ll be no shortage of well-known songs to hum along to, which reflect the essence of this group of soloists and instrumentalists from the Teatro Nacional São Carlos. The concert will take place at the Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Amparo (Church […]
Orquestra Jovem de Cordas do Conservatório Nacional e ComPasso
This could have been a dated concert, were it not for the works of Brazilian Ernani Aguiar and Englishman John Francis Wade, a name which few associate with Adeste Fideles (“O Come, All Ye Faithful”), but who is in fact responsible for the carol reaching the present day in form we know it. In addition […]
Gospel Collective
We’ll be saying farewell to this year’s Natal em Lisboa with the Gospel Collective and a concert which will mix traditional black spiritual music with more urban beats and afro-gospel.

Coro das Nações
At this time of get-togethers, the Coro do Parque das Nações will greet those who arrive and say farewell to those who leave, with a wide-ranging repertoire where more traditional and well-known songs share a stage with other, lesser-known, pieces: a place for all worlds and languages. From classical Mozart to Black Spiritual music, passing […]
Orquestra Orbis
The violin and the string orchestras will present us with a new stylistic approach, without recourse to vocals and other more traditional instruments of the period, such as the lute. So, there’ll be no lack of works by masters like Vivaldi, Bach, and Albinoni, but there’ll also be space for pieces by Pedro Teixeira da […]
Fados de Natal – Brincar aos fados
We get things underway with a guided tour of the museum, followed by a musical performance called “Playing with Fado”.

Listeners are driven by the History of Christmas Music over the centuries, through well-known melodies (Adeste Fideles, Joy to the World, Jingle Bells …) and a narrative line specially […]
Coro Sinfónico e Coro Infantil Lisboa Cantat
Despite renditions of Messiah being almost as much of a Christmas tradition as eggnog in Anglophone countries, curiously it was actually written to be performed at Easter; only the first third talks about the birth of Christ, the second and third parts focus on his death and resurrection. When G.F. Handel first performed the work […]

Venham mais 20!
We now know that the impact of Expo’98 also reached as far as mentalities, triggering a period of profound changes which can still be felt today. The turn of the 20th century also heralded civilisational transformations, scientific and technological developments and the emergence of new political paradigms and ideologies. Therefore, for this concert, the Orquestra […]

Jazz features in its name, but the music heard on Sunday late afternoons includes many other styles. In September, Out Jazz arrives at the Jardim Mário Soares (Campo Grande) with names like Kwan, Mr. Mute and Hugo Antunes Trio. It’s farewell to another summer of outdoor concerts.

Music returns to the Vale do Silêncio, with the Gulbenkian Choir and Orchestra.
