Art’Ventus Quintet
“Porto por dentro e Por Fora” (Porto Inside and Out) is a series of three concerts centred on two works commissioned from contemporary composers Luís Carvalho and Anne Victorino D'Almeida. The Art'Ventus quintet will perform the two works commissioned from the composers in each of the three performances, integrating them into a repertoire that varies from performance to performance and always relates to them from a perspective on the city. The first of the three performances will take place at the Guerra Junqueiro Museum, as part of the Porto Metropolitan Area's programme, Sounds in Heritage Sites.

Very close to the Cathedral and the Archaeological Site, the Guerra Junqueiro Museum, currently undergoing renovation, is an example of 19th-century civil architecture commissioned by Domingos Barbosa, canon of the Cathedral of Porto. “(...) The Old Town Hall highlights concern for the city's cultural heritage, a museum space of the Porto Museum with a Luís Ferreira Alves Photography Award Exhibition.” The Archaeological Site at Rua de D. Hugo, 5 is a window into the city's memories. Three metres below ground, you can see a succession of twenty archaeological layers, architectural ruins and artefacts that “whisper” a history spanning more than 2,500 years, from the Iron Age to the present day. 10:00 - Visit to the Old Town Hall | Visit to the Archaeological Site - visits taking place simultaneously for 60 minutes Free admission Sounds in Heritage Sites’ full programme at https://iporto.amp.pt/en/eventos/sounds-in-heritage-sites-2025/
