The concert comprised of members from the Academic Orchestra of the Conservatory, was conducted by Francisco Loreto, and featured performances by Carla Moniz (soprano) and Alberto Sousa (tenor), who both teach at the Conservatory.
Pedro Calado, the Mayor of Funchal, presented a cheque to the representative of the Association of Ukrainians in Portugal, Valentyna Chan, and the monies raised will be used to help Ukraine refugees.
