An Enchanting Evening of Music & Portuguese Culture
Residence of the Portuguese Ambassador to the United States
      
       

The evening begins with a delightful Portuguese Fado concert by Filipa Tavares, one of Portugal's finest and most sought-after Portuguese Fado singers. 

The intimate and beautiful setting of the Portuguese Ambassador’s residence provides the perfect setting for you to discover Portugal through all your senses while meeting the Ambassador, distinguished diplomats and staff at the embassy along with ICDC members in attendance. 

The dinner buffet of Portuguese delicacies will be presented with limited seating. The dinner reception also includes wine and drinks served at the bar.

:::: Filipa Tavares: "Traditional Fado concert” 

Always willing to break Fado music stereotypes, she decided to adopt the lyrics of Portuguese poets, including the Portuguese Nobel laureate, José Saramago, as well as Camões and José Régio to her interpretation of Fado – a unique musical genre, considered by UNESCO, as an essential part of the World´s Intangible Cultural Heritage.

Without altering Fado’s inner musical core, Filipa’s warm and powerful voice is an invitation for the listener to experiment the Portuguese language, traditions and soul.

To celebrate the World Portuguese Language Day, and Nobel Laureate José Saramago’s Centennial birth, Filipa Tavares and accompanists will perform live, at the Residence of the Ambassador of Portugal.

This concert is co-sponsored by the Embassy of Portugal in Washington, DC, and the Camões, IP.
