Partitura · march 2026

March at Casa da Música is more than a passage from winter to spring; it is the awakening of a new cycle. On one hand, the final echoes of a profound symphonic winter, with monumental works that probe life’s great existential questions. On the other, the preparation for Easter renewal and the first blossoms of the season. A programme that is, in itself, a journey from the intimate to the cosmic, from ancestral roots to the seeds of the future.

The symphonic journey begins with a work of mourning and introspection: Dvořák’s Seventh Symphony, presented in a concert with commentary that helps unveil the mystery of its sombre atmosphere. Orquestra Sinfónica then moves forward with the vibrant energy of Stravinsky’s The Firebird and the exotic Violin Concerto by Khachaturian, bringing to Casa da Música for the first time the virtuoso Serbian violinist Nemanja Radulović. It is also our oldest resident ensemble that takes us to the heart of Eastern Europe with Bartók’s powerful Concerto for Orchestra, Kodály’s delightful Háry János Suite, and the dance-infused Romanian Rhapsody by Enescu.
