Youth Orchestra of the Official Conservatories of Music gives concert in Faro

The closing concert of the internship of the Youth Orchestra of the Official Music Conservatories (OJ.COM) will take place this Saturday, April 6th, from 5pm, at Teatro das Figuras, in Faro, with rehearsals taking place during the day 1 to 5, in Loulé.

On stage, there will be around 80 musicians (students) from 10 different public music conservatories, from mainland Portugal and the Islands.

The OJ. COM appears as an annual project, developed since 2001, and whose objective is to provide a Symphony Orchestra internship, consisting of the selection of the best students from public schools specializing in artistic music education.

Annually, participating students are selected from the various conservatories by the maestro, who assumes the artistic direction of the project, and who is hired by the organizing school.

As the Loulé Music Conservatory – Francisco Rosado (CML-FR) is the organizing entity of the 2024 edition, it invited the acclaimed musician Jan Wierzba for this purpose.

The internship usually takes place over five days, typically from Monday to Friday, and culminates with the performance of a concert in the organizing city and/or region.
