VERÃO CLÁSSICO thus fosters the education and public presentation of young talents, encouraging and supporting them in building their careers while promoting cultural exchange among participants of various nationalities.

The educational component of VERÃO CLÁSSICO is complemented by its performance axis, comprising a Music Festival featuring great works from the 18th to 21st centuries. This includes four MasterFest concerts, with performances by the Professors, and six TalentFest concerts, showcasing selected young musicians.
