In early July, Sistema Portugal: Orquestra Geraçaõ celebrated its 10th anniversary in Lisbon.

Sistema Europe also participated in the Lisbon celebration, together with a number of national programmes and international organisations like the Hilti Foundation, which has provided crucial support for the network ever since it was founded in 2012.

The Orquestra Juvenil Geração, directed by Juan Maggiorani, presented itself at the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, where the program debuted in 2008.  The two-day festivities also celebrated the centennial of Leonard Bernstein’s birth with an interpretation of the iconic Mambo from West Side Story, directed by Maestro Ulises Ascanio.
