On 19 December 2026, at 9:30 pm, the Coro da Sé Catedral do Porto will present two landmark works of the choral-symphonic repertoire: Gloria by Francis Poulenc and Te Deum by Antonín Dvořák. Under the direction of Tiago Ferreira, the voices of the Choir, soprano Alexandra Moura and baritone Job Tomé join the Pedro de Freitas Branco Orchestra in a musical dialogue between delicacy and intensity.
Although composed in different periods and contexts, both works find in praise an expression of joy and spirituality. Moving between lightness and solemnity, contemplation and jubilation, Poulenc and Dvořák explore different dimensions of sacred music, combining the expressiveness of the human voice with the richness of orchestral writing.
These two works reveal distinct sensibilities in their expression of the sacred, offering music that invites both reflection and celebration. During the Christmas season, this concert takes on special significance within the unique atmosphere of Porto Cathedral.
Admission is free, and everyone is warmly invited to join us in experiencing the beauty and spirit of this Christmas season.
