Orquestra Gulbenkian live in Lisbon

Experience Orquestra Gulbenkian live on December 3rd

Orquestra Gulbenkian is recognized for its versatile repertoire, encompassing works from the classical and romantic periods alongside 20th and 21st-century compositions. The orchestra frequently champions Portuguese composers and is known for its refined interpretations and technical precision. It operates as a resident orchestra within the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation.

The Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, established in 1956 based on the testament of Armenian oil magnate Calouste Gulbenkian, is a Portuguese philanthropic organization dedicated to arts, science, education and social welfare. The Foundation’s headquarters, designed by Pedro Teves and Álvaro Siza Vieira, houses a museum celebrated for its diverse collection spanning Egyptian artifacts to European paintings – notably works by Rembrandt, Monet and Renoir.

Beyond the museum, the Foundation actively supports artistic creation through residencies, grants, and performance spaces including the Grande Auditório where Orquestra Gulbenkian regularly performs. The concert scheduled for December 3rd, 2026 will take place within this context of promoting cultural enrichment and accessibility.
