Back to Braga, the festival continues at 9.30 p.m., in the Nogueira da Silva Museum, where the audience will be taken on a trip through the sound of traditional Chinese instruments, coordinated by soloist Lu Yanan.

On Friday, also at 9.30 p.m., the Museum features a improv jazz concert. The Lúcio Craveiro da Silva Library hosts the literary lecture “Outono Literário - Percursos da obra de…João Tordo”, whilst in the Paço dos Duques de Bragança in Guimarães, a musical performance by the UMinho Orchestra takes place.

After that, at 10 p.m., the artists Valter Lobo and The Legendary Tigerman take the Medieval Hall’s stage at the Rectorate.

Bringing together cultural heritage and contemporary creation

The Autumn Festival brings together aspects of the cultural and artistic heritage owned or kept by UMinho, binding it to the history of the two cities where it takes place and to contemporary creation. Eduarda Keating, President of the UMinho’s Cultural Council, believes this eighth edition shows the festival’s growth and maturity, with a diverse offer, various schedules, themes and partnerships, such as the association with the UMinho Students’ Union.
