About this event

A one-off choral concert marking the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, performed by the São Carlos Opera Chorus under Giampaolo Vessella at Lisbon’s Money Museum (the former Church of São Julião) as part of the 52nd Festival Estoril Lisboa autumn edition. Spanning nearly a century of American choral music—from Copland to Bernstein—the programme asks “how does America sound?”. Presented in concert format with no staging, the event draws on the venue’s historic acoustics. Musicologist Filipe Gaspar provides spoken context. Age rating: 6+.
