In a programme that combines classic pieces with new contemporary versions, creating an immersive, fun and very moving musical experience, the audience will be able to enjoy the must-see pieces of this festive season.
To the sound of the orchestra, the audience will be able to travel by sleigh through snow-covered landscapes and remember the colours, sparkles, smells and tastes as only Christmas can. But in this concert the audience will play a different and fundamental role! Encouraged to sing by Rui Baeta who will mediate and directed by conductor Constança Simas, a spontaneous, tuneful and very musical choir will join their voices to the instruments of the orchestra in songs such as ‘Noite Feliz’, from ‘Hark! The Herald Angels Sing’, “White Christmas” and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”.
The concert is free but subject to capacity.
