“If we had three or four [medalhas] with athletes who have a chance to get on the podium would be extremely important, first of all for them and their coaches who deserve it, for the work they have developed and for the modality that has the most international medals in Portugal.” said Luce, vice-president of the Federation.

Fernando Tavares removes any pressure on the group of 43 but appoints World and Olympic champion Pedro Pichardo and Tokyo 2020 runner-up Patricia Mamona, both in the triple jump, Liliana Ka, fifth in the discus throw, and Oriol. Dongmo, fourth in the shot put, same place as João Vieira in the 50K march.

“They have the opportunity to fight for a medal, and they are certainly interested in this, but we do not put pressure on them, this is not part of our lifestyle. We know that they will do their best and that could give them a medal or just a place in the final, which is good,” he stressed.

Maestro de Braga is the first Portuguese in the National Symphony Orchestra of Cuba.

Maestro Filipe Cunha, Artistic Director of the Philharmonic Orchestra of Braga, has been invited to conduct the Cuban National Symphony Orchestra, as announced today.

According to a statement sent by O MINHO, “he will be the first Portuguese conductor to conduct this orchestra in its entire history.”

In addition to this orchestra, the maestro will also work with the Lyceo Mozarteum de la Habana Symphony Orchestra.

The concerts will take place on 4 and 12 March 2023 at the National Theater of Cuba in Havana.

In the words of the maestro, quoted in the statement, “these will be very beautiful concerts with difficult but very complex pieces” and therefore he feels “very motivated”.

From the very beginning, Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 will be performed by an Italian pianist (Luigi Borzillo), whom the maestro wants to bring to Portugal later this year. In the same concert, Mendelshon’s First Symphony will be performed.

Then, at the second concert, in the company of the Mexican clarinetist Angel Zedillo, he will perform the Louis Sfora Concerto No. 2. In this concert, the maestro also conducts Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony.

“This is an international recognition of my work. An invitation that I accept with humility and great responsibility. I was surprised to learn that I would be the first Portuguese member of the Cuban National Symphony Orchestra. This is a very great honor,” the maestro said in a statement.

“I take with me the name of the city of Braga and Portugal with all the responsibility that goes with it, and I hope to do a good job there, leaving a good image and putting on great concerts. These will be very special concerts because, in addition to performing pieces that I love, especially Rachmaninov and Tchaikovsky, I will be directing two wonderful soloists who are also my friends. It will be very beautiful,” concludes Filipe Cunha.
