Amicitia Chorus

FREE ENTRANCE

Amicitia Chorus presents its first EP, Bai-te à Murta, a work that affirms the group’s identity and its vibrant connection with Portugal’s musical heritage.
In this concert, the choir takes the audience on a journey through traditional sounds reimagined through a contemporary aesthetic. Melodies inherited from oral tradition are given new life through choral composition, percussion and a performative language that blends voice, body and memory.
The singing is accompanied by traditional instruments such as the bombo and the adufe, whilst body percussion and the theatrical dimension transform the performance into an immersive and sensory experience.
More than simply revisiting the past, Bai-te à Murta seeks to listen to it in the present, celebrating the collective power of the voice and music’s ability to unite generations, territories and imaginations.
