Concert info in Portugal is scattered over many websites. Some seemed out-of-date, a leftover from COVID? But concert seasons are picking up. Some ensembles or venues only list immediately upcoming concerts, so it’s hard to plan ahead for them. Some, like Gulbenkian, sell out, so you had better plan ahead.
Here are some of the links that I want to keep track of.
Ensembles and venues in and around Lisboa
Centro Cultural de Belem, classical, jazz, folk, fado, world music concerts, guest ensembles from U.S., art museum – convenient to our train line.
https://www.ccb.pt
Metropolitana, orchestra and music school often performing at CCB, in residence, I think.
https://www.metropolitana.pt
Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian Concerts, art museum. Concerts sell out quickly. New York Metropolitan Opera broadcasts “Met in HD” are at Gulbenkian.
https://gulbenkian.pt
Teatro Nacional de São Carlos – Operas & concerts at several venues including CCB.
Season: https://tnsc.pt/temporada-2023-2024/
Festival de Estoril Concerts throughout Lisboa, early music, organ in famous churches. German Romanticism is a 2023 theme.

Orquestra de Câmara de Cascais e Oeiras Chamber music and orchestra concerts in various venues west of Lisboa. Training orchestra for their music conservatory as well as a professional ensemble? I think they have a pre-college music school.
