Under the musical direction of maestro Osvaldo Ferreira, the Portuguese Philharmonic Orchestra presents two of the most significant works of the Romantic symphonic repertoire.
Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 5 takes the audience on an emotionally intense journey, from its imposing funeral march at the beginning to the triumphant final movement. The work is widely recognized for its Adagietto, one of the most beautiful and introspective pieces in the orchestral repertoire.
Meanwhile, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture was composed to commemorate the failure of Napoleon’s invasion of Russia and the subsequent retreat of French troops. The piece stands out for its grand instrumentation, alternating between tension and exultation, culminating in an apotheotic finale that symbolizes resilience and the conclusion of one of the 19th century’s most defining conflicts.
In this concert, the Portuguese Philharmonic Orchestra offers the audience an unforgettable musical experience.
