New Year’s Concert… With Flavor of Brazil

Two hundred years ago, Brazil celebrated the «turn of the year» with sovereignty that screamed independence. The process that led to this change is also part of the History of Portugal. We remember today that there is much more than a language uniting the two peoples. Let’s start with the music, inviting conductor Evandro Matté and four Brazilian composers to complement the traditional waltzes and polkas of the Strauss family.
