Peking Opera
Directly from China, the performance that mixes singing, recitation, dance, acting, acrobatics and martial arts was developed from the popularization of musical pieces during the Sung Dynasty (960 – 1279) and in the mid-19th century, began to spread throughout China.
Since then, this theatrical style, one of the most recent in China's history, has become considered one of the country's cultural treasures. In 2010, UNESCO recognized the importance of Peking Opera by granting it the title of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
Tomorrow's Tide Orchestra
Created in August 2010, this initiative promotes classical music learning for children and adolescents living in socially vulnerable situations. Currently, the Orquestra Maré do Amanhã serves approximately 4,000 young people. The project has been sponsored by State Grid Brazil Holding since 2012.
