Toast to America - Portuguese National Day Official Celebration

On the occasion of the Portuguese National Day, we invite you to Toast to America: Portuguese Musical Heritage in Times of Freedom.

The Concert and Official Reception, with the presence of His Excellency the Ambassador of Portugal to the US, will celebrate cultural ties between Portugal and the United States in the 250th Anniversary of American Independence.

In 1776, the Founding Fathers toasted to American Independence with Madeira wine. 250 years later, the Concert and Official Reception will link the celebrations with Portuguese musical heritage.

Concert with Ana Rita Coelho (winner of the Cascais Opera International Singing Competition 2025 – mezzo-soprano), Inês Thomas Almeida (musicologist, FCSH/UNL – mezzo-soprano & commentary) and João Vaz (Escola Superior de Música de Lisboa – organ), followed by an Official Reception.

Event organized in partnership with Cascais Ópera, International Singing Competition based in Cascais, Portugal, and with the support of Camões, Institute for Cooperation and Language and TAP Air Portugal.
