Gisela João Portugal
Mariela Condo Equador
Yomira John Panamá
Three concerts in one night. Gisela João is one of the biggest newcomers of Fado in recent years in Portugal; Mariela Condo, singer and composer, brings the roots of latin-american music; Yomira John grew up with bolero, salsa and tradicional music of Panama, and here she presents her music world. The three Ibero-American female singers celebrate various key aspects in the Ibero-American Capital of Culture programme: youth and expectations for the future; recognition of the importance of female artists and the significant changes in artistic creation borne out by their careers.
The Concerto Moderno is a string orchestra made up of young musicians from the Lisbon area, with a solid and ambitious artistic project in the field of classical music. It has played at a number of prestigious Portuguese venues, such as Teatro São Carlos and Cultural Centre of Belém, and has also performed in Spain – in Segovia – and France – in Frigolet Abbey and at the Cathedral in Aix-en-Provence. The portuguese César Viana is the music director.

Momo Dom La nena Friday, 9pm
The first night opens in style with singer-songwriter MOMO (Marcelo Frota), from Rio de Janeiro but a Lisbon resident, who brings us sounds with the experiences of a citizen of the world who was born in Brazil, grew up in Angola and in the United States, and then moved on to other pastures, such as Spain and now Portugal. We round things off with singer and cellist Dom La Nena (Dominique Pinto), from Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil), who brings us a type of music that was also forged elsewhere, across cities such as Paris and Buenos Aires.

Wednesday to friday, 10.30am – schools Saturday and sunday, 4pm – families Sala Mário Viegas
Marco Ferreira da Silva began his dance career in 2004 and since then has presented many works as a dancer but also a choreographer. In Hu(r)mano the performers elevate themselves to an atmosphere that is parallel to reality, in an imaginary reflection on the “human urban movement” and its lifeblood. This is a constant search for the meaning of dance as an abstract, changing, and ephemeral product that is generated intuitively in contemporary circles. Within these transhumanised beings is an imminence that moves them.
suitable for: schools, families and general public 6+ years m/6 €3 crianças; €7 adultos
SYN.Tropia is music for deaf people but also for the general public. Everyone can listen to it, the hearing and non-hearing alike. There is no translation, everyone hears with their entire body. This is how you construct a body of dance, a body that dances. Equality promoted through enjoyable situations; with the status of hearing elevated to all the senses, the questions are: What body is this? What music is this? The possible response is: Syn (together) – Tropia ([in the same] way

CAMANÉ and ORQUESTRA METROPOLITANA DE LISBOA Thursday to Saturday, 9pm; Sunday, 5.30pm Sala Luis Miguel Cintra €11-€22 (with discounts €5-€17,60) m/6
One of the most important fado singers in Portugal, known in many different countries around the world Camané, brings in a retrospective of the best-known themes and greatest successes of his career and joins the Metropolitan Orchestra of Lisbon. A programme in which he journeys through South American music, and in particular some tangos, as a way of paying tribute to Ibero-American culture now in 2017, when Lisbon celebrates being its capital.

€12-€15 (with discounts €5-€10,50) Pass Hu(r)mano&Brother: €20-€25 (with discounts €10-€12,50) subject to CCE rating
Wednesday to friday, 10.30am – schools Saturday and sunday, 4pm – families Sala Mário Viegas
From the same choreographer of Hu(r)mano, in Brother, there is an exploration of a common ancestry and a search for affinities and similarities that survive generational transitions and which are evident in the bodies and the dance that still exist today in the urban and collective context. Through constant mimicry between the performers, non-verbal vocabulary develops that regenerates and transforms over time through the pledges and releases that each of them individually manifests. Together, what do we seek from dance?
suitable for: schools, families and general public 6+ years m/6 €3 crianças; €7 adultos
The pianist Joana Gama and the choreographer Victor Hugo Pontes invite the young audiences for a very special moment. In children’s imaginations, night-time is perhaps the first of the great mysteries. The shadows, the darkness, the silence, the noises in the street, and the movements in the house conjure up fantastic thoughts, numerous fears, and a certain fascination. Based on work with schools at various levels, Nocturno is inspired by numerous possible nights – in the village and the city, in the open or in unlikely shelters. Different sounds and experiences, with or without stars, yet always under the same dark sky.
