The 2nd “BAIXA’o’SOM” Festival in Coimbra, from 1 to 4 July, offers a “musical walk of discovery”. Organised by the Municipality of Coimbra and the Agency for the Promotion of Downtown Coimbra (APBC), the event will feature live music from national street bands, with an emphasis on local philharmonic bands. In addition, an ensemble of young musicians from the region will present an exclusive concert, the result of a musical development workshop.
Additional performances will take place in various parts of the city, promoting the festival beyond the historic centre. The music will guide visitors through Coimbra’s architecture, monuments, shopping areas and gastronomy.
