Military Bands will perform a different kind of musical duty, this time, the armed forces will join in the effort to catalyse people's attention to those who need the most.
The armed forces, the Portuguese Navy Band, the Portuguese Army Symphonic Band and the Portuguese Air Force Band will perform a solidarity Xmas concert to raise funds to support the Association of the Disabled from the Armed Forces and the Association of Nocturnal Shelters in Porto, partaking the spirit of love, solidarity and peace that should embrace people's hearts this festive season.
This event will take place at Casa Música, on 17 December, scheduled to start at 9.30 pm, at the Sala Suggia.
This initiative is supported by Porto City Hall, Casa da Música and the high patronage of the President of the Republic.
