Students from the Metropolitana Professional School

Chamber music is a fundamental pillar of every musician’s training, but it takes on particular significance at secondary school level. It is within this age group that the importance of musical and personal interaction helps to shape the young musician’s personality. At EPM, there are on average 19 chamber music groups, ranging from brass quintets, woodwind quintets, large ensembles featuring brass, flutes, saxophones, clarinets, double basses and percussion, to groups such as piano trios or string quartets. This wide range of educational opportunities is one of our school’s key strengths; thanks to agreements with various organisations, it enables these groups to perform on numerous occasions at leading venues in Lisbon and other locations across the metropolitan area.
