The Gulbenkian Orchestra presents the concert “Musical Journey through Europe” at the concert hall on the 14th at 9:30 p.m., under the direction of conductor Cesário Costa and with the collaboration of harpist Beatriz Cortesão.
Glière, Prokofiev, Ravel and Rossini are among the composers selected for the journey through the 19th and 20th centuries.
The supergroup Cara de Espelho, which brings together members of bands such as Deolinda, Ornatos Violeta, Gaiteiros de Lisboa, A Naifa, Señoritas and Humanos, will take to the stage on the 8th at 9.30pm to unveil their first album.
On June 29, it’s the turn of the trio Expresso Transatlântico to make their debut in Covilhã, also at 9:30 p.m., to the sound of their album “Ressaca bailada”.
“With Gaspar Varela on Portuguese guitar, Sebastião Varela on electric guitar and Rafael Matos on drums, the band musically illustrates their experiences in a cosmopolitan and multicultural Lisbon, making the Portuguese guitar the main character of their songs,” the TMC said in a statement.
