The Summer Solidarity Concert brought to the stage of the Auditório da Boa Nova two youth orchestras — from Macau and the Colégio Moderno — along with the winners of the RTP Audience Award 2024 and 2025, Sílvia Sequeira and Rita Coelho, in a performance where music took on a greater purpose: supporting two social partner institutions of Cascais Opera.
All ticket proceeds from the concert were donated to the Gaivotas da Torre Association and the Estoril Parish Centre. The visit allowed the Cascais Opera team to get to know the spaces, leaders, and beneficiaries of both organisations more closely — an opportunity to witness the real impact these institutions have within their local communities.
This moment also strengthened the bonds of collaboration and the social commitment that Cascais Opera maintains with the people of Cascais.
The Gaivotas da Torre Association works daily to promote the value of each person and family, developing artistic, sports, and educational activities, while providing psychological and social support to dozens of families.
The Estoril Parish Centre, meanwhile, is a social solidarity institution linked to the Parish of Santo António do Estoril, dedicated to education, integration, and community support.
Throughout the year, these organisations collaborate with Cascais Opera’s participatory designers, contributing to the project that transforms communication materials — such as banners and posters — into new, creative, and sustainable products that gain a second life.
This ongoing partnership reflects Cascais Opera’s social and environmental commitment — bringing together art, community, and sustainability in a shared purpose, where music becomes real, lasting impact.
