The internship will include orchestra rehearsals in Casa das Artes de Famalicão and two concerts in the Famalicense cultural space on September 2nd and 3rd.
It should be noted that JOF also counts on the collaboration of an Advisory Board composed of representatives of the boards of the institutions of specialized artistic education and professional music education of the municipality: CCM - Centre for Musical Culture, ArtEduca - Vila Nova de Famalicão Music Conservatory and ARTAVE - Artistic Professional School of Vale do Ave.
It is worth remembering that in the last editions, many of the applications came from outside Portugal, with the presence of young artists from renowned European Higher Education Institutions
