Orquestra Sinfônica da UFRJ

The Orquestra Sinfônica da UFRJ (Symphonic Orchestra of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro) is a vibrant ensemble rooted in Brazil’s rich musical heritage. Connected to one of the country’s most prestigious universities, the orchestra blends academic rigor with cultural storytelling, often spotlighting works by Brazilian composers like Alberto Nepomuceno, whose 150th anniversary they celebrated with a dedicated release. Their repertoire spans historical gems, such as pieces from the Portuguese court era of D. João VI, and modern experiments, like fusing classical strings with electronic sounds in collaborative projects. More than just performers, they serve as both educators and preservers of Brazil’s classical traditions, offering audiences a bridge between the past and present through lush, dynamic performances.
