Yamandu Costa & Guitar Orchestra

On May 30, 2026, Casa da Música hosts a concert featuring Brazilian guitarist Yamandu Costa and the Portuguese Guitar and Mandolin Orchestra. Costa is known for his seven-string guitar technique and compositions that blend various Brazilian musical traditions, including choro, bossa nova, and samba, with classical and jazz influences. The Portuguese Guitar and Mandolin Orchestra, a collective of musicians dedicated to traditional Portuguese string instruments, will perform alongside him. This collaboration aims to present a dialogue between Brazilian and Portuguese musical forms.

The performance will showcase the interplay between Costa's improvisational style and the orchestral arrangements. The venue's main concert hall provides a setting for acoustic performances, designed to offer clear sound projection. The audience will consist of individuals interested in world music, guitar performance, and orchestral arrangements.
