Seasonal Concert Cycles

Regular Programme

The OCS intends to consolidate the concerts season that features regularly in the Algarve and the Spanish region of Andalusia and extend its activity to the Alentejo and Setúbal, presenting a diverse programme, bold and high artistic quality.

Classic Lethes

This cycle of concerts will be an excellent opportunity to listen to the greatest works of Chamber Music repertoire in one of the most iconic concert rooms in Algarve.

Ensembles

Within the complete orchestral structure and the various chamber ensembles in which the OCS presents itself, two new formations were introduced: the “Além Tejo” (“Beyond the Tagus”) and the “Algarve” ensembles.

OCS Choir

The creation of a choir dedicated to classical music performances allows the expansion of the range of the OCS productions, simultaneously considering the specificity of the choir’s repertoires, and the new experiences that it will provide to its participants.

Chamber Music Cycle

The Chamber Music Cycles are a constant programme highlight, providing more choice and diversity of musical concerts in this area.

Light Classical Cycle

In this cycle OCS presents itself in more eclectic repertoires, maintaining the essence of its leisure function, allied to an exceptional quality.

Symphonic Journeys

This OCS cycle is dedicated to classic music, and while embracing two distinct genres, it also stands out as a differentiated cultural event in the city of Évora.

Promenade Concerts

OCS invites all the family to discover more about Classical Music in this cycle of Promenade Concerts, with very interesting programmes inspired in children's interests.

Pedagogical Concerts

It is by the experience and observation that children build knowledge and restructure the way of thinking, which promotes their intellectual development. Based on this idea, the OCS develops a project called the "Pedagogical Concerts".

Musical Dialogues

This cycle of three concerts that will take place at the Teatro das Figuras Foyer, in Faro, proposes a series of "musical dialogues". Dialogues between artists, between musicians and the public, but also dialogues between different chamber formations, covering different styles.

Soloists Cycle

With this cycle the OCS makes known its instrumentalists, stimulating their presentations also as soloists and giving the public a different perspective on the artistic body of this orchestra.

Music & Nature

The description of each season, the fury of the four elements, the idyllic landscapes and the song of the birds are references that can be found in musical works, from the baroque period to the modern production.

Classical Symphonies

In this cycle of concerts, our audience is invited to revisit the most significant Symphonies of the classical period, with special focus on Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, without forgetting the following musical production influenced by composers such as Mendelssohn and Schubert.

Ciclo de Laureados

OCS is proud to promote and advance the career of young soloists, winners of national competitions, opening their doors and inviting them to perform solo in their concert season.

Music and Modernity

In this cycle OCS revisits composers who were “modern” in their time and, in parallel, proposes the works of contemporary composers who may become the classics of tomorrow.
