Choral Groups Gathering in Ourique September 19 at 6:00 p.m. at Padre António Pereira Square Organized by: Ourique Choral Group
Praça Padre António Pereira, Ourique
“One Morning in April”
Organized by
Câmara Municipal de Ourique
Ourique marks the 52nd anniversary of April 25
“This is the dawn I have been waiting for
The first day, whole and pure
Where we emerge from the night and the silence
And, free, we inhabit the substance of time”
The words of Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen remain a clear synthesis of the meaning of April—the passage from night to freedom, from voicelessness to participation, from uncertainty to building the future.
In keeping with the principles of the Carnation Revolution and to mark the 52nd anniversary of April 25, the Municipality of Ourique is promoting, throughout the month, a series of cultural and commemorative initiatives, open to the community and geared toward different generations.
