Series of pedagogical concerts has already started
The cycle of educational concerts, developed by the Matosinhos String Quartet in partnership with the Matosinhos City Hall, started last Tuesday, January 24th, with performances at the Perafita Elementary School and Dr. José Domingos dos Santos School, Lavra.
Students once again had the opportunity to attend concerts designed and performed by the Matosinhos String Quartet exclusively for this project, which began in 2015 and has already toured several schools in the municipality, in different grades, involving more than three hundred students.
The initiative's main goal is to contribute to the awareness and musical training of young people, providing a closer contact with classical music and a better understanding of the experiences of musicians who perform in major orchestras.
The next sessions take place today, January 26, at the Boa Nova High School, and tomorrow at the Escola Básica Eng. Fernando Pinto de Oliveira, Leça da Palmeira, and at the Escola Básica da Viscondessa, Santa Cruz do Bispo.
The Matosinhos String Quartet was created in 2007 by initiative of the Matosinhos City Hall. It develops an important preservation work of the Portuguese and European musical heritage, also performing, in recent years, regular concerts in churches and chapels of the municipality, assuming itself as a fundamental instrument of the goal of democratizing the cultural enjoyment in Matosinhos. It has performed on the main national and European stages, having won, in 2014, the Rising Stars award of the European Concert Hall Organization.
