Wagner’s Vorspiel und Isolden’s Liebestod arranged by Reinbert de Leeuw for ensemble on the program by Ensemble Orquestral da Beira interior under Peter Rundel in Portugal.

The concerts on 13 and 14 December are part of the BEYA Artistic Laboratory.

The BEYRA Artistic Laboratory is an innovative platform dedicated to supporting young musicians at the start of their careers, creating concrete opportunities in the Beira Interior region. The strong public engagement and growing interest from institutional partners confirm the relevance of this project in a region with enormous economic, social, and cultural potential, but which still lacks structures that promote professionalization and the retention of artistic talent.

At the heart of BEYRA are the artistic residencies — not mere internships, but intensive periods of professional work. These residencies include the rehearsals and concerts of the Beira Interior Orchestral Ensemble (EOBI) and the educational activities of Laboratório 10-18 (10-18 Laboratory), aimed at children and young music students.

Therefore, in addition to fair remuneration, we guarantee musicians excellent logistical conditions and a rich repertoire that prepares them for the challenges of the professional world.

The BEYRA Artistic Laboratory is thus a dynamic hub for experimentation, training, and creation — fostering a new generation of musicians and placing Beira Interior on the map of artistic excellence.
