The "Concertos na Avenida" (Concerts in the Avenida dos Aliados) are back in town on 8 and 9 September, featuring a programme ranging from rock to a symphonic repertoire, in perfect timing as of 10 pm.

With musical direction by acclaimed maestro and cellist Dmitry Sinkovsky, the repertoire is devoted to Vivaldi, featuring "Four Stations", one of the most popular written violin works ever.

The second concert evening holds the Viennese heritage music, an orchestral arrangement of Vaughan Williams on a very beautiful English tune or even musical environments related to the American west described by Aaron Copland, delivered by Porto Music Conservatory Symphonic Orchestra, with musical direction by Baldur Brönnimann.

Enjoy these classical concerts, organised by Porto City Hall and the Foundation Casa da Música.

These events are a gift to everyone in Porto as all the concerts are entrance free.

As usual, the Concerts in the Avenida are access free.
