Orquestra XXI is an innovative cultural initiative that brings together Portuguese musicians living abroad. Led since its founding by conductor Dinis Sousa, Orquestra XXI is now recognized as one of Portugal’s most inspiring cultural communities, with performances acclaimed by both national audiences and specialized critics.

In July, Orquestra XXI returns to the Centro Cultural de Belém for a concert dedicated to Antonín Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9. Written during the period when the composer had emigrated to New York, the celebrated “From the New World” Symphony combines elements of the African American musical tradition with classically inspired writing, and is considered one of the most popular works in the symphonic repertoire.

Also on the programme, Orquestra XXI will perform Cortejo by Andreia Pinto Correia, a Portuguese composer based in the United States of America, and will accompany Marie-Ange Nguci, one of the most outstanding young soloists of today, in Edvard Grieg’s Piano Concerto.

Pre-concert talk by Dinis Sousa.
