The Portuguese Philharmonic Orchestra presents a programme rich in expression and contrast, bringing together three outstanding works from the orchestral repertoire. The opening piece, Richard Strauss’s Don Juan, reveals a passionate and dramatic world, marked by intensity and virtuosity. This is followed by Edward Elgar’s introspective Cello Concerto, a deeply moving work that explores the melancholy and sonic nobility of the solo instrument. To conclude, Igor Stravinsky’s The Firebird (1919) transports the audience to a magical world, brimming with colour, rhythm and energy, culminating in a breathtaking finale. A concert that traverses different musical languages and emotions, from romantic exuberance to the innovative brilliance of the 20th century.
