19th EDITION OF THE ONJ FESTIVAL - FIGUEIRA DA FOZ MUSIC FESTIVAL

The Orquestra Nacional de Jovens (ONJ) returns to the stage for its 19th edition with a bold artistic proposal that breaks down barriers between classical and contemporary music. Under the direction of renowned Maestro Cristiano Silva, the festival presents two main concerts at Casa da Música in Porto and at CAE da Figueira da Foz. This year, the symphonic grandeur of the ONJ crosses paths with the electrifying energy of Mercury Falls Band. The show also features guest singers, creating a sonic fusion that promises to take the audience on an emotional journey between the sophistication of the orchestra and the attitude of rock/alternative. Maestro Cristiano Silva, known for his mastery in symphonic rock and his ability to extract the maximum potential from young talents, takes the baton in this project that celebrates not only the technical excellence but also the artistic innovation of the new generation of Portuguese musicians. The Orquestra Nacional de Jovens Festival in Figueira da Foz, in its 19th edition, thus consolidates its role as one of the most important forums for musical training and exhibition in Portugal, proving that classical music and modern rhythms can coexist in the same creative space.
