Casa de Música:

Opened to the public in the spring of 2005, Casa da Música was designed by the acclaimed architect Rem Koolhaas. The building became an icon of the city of Porto and represents a distinctive architectural heritage. This place promotes a relevant cultural interface between Portugal and the whole World. Mainly focused on musical events, the activities promoted by Casa da Música involve performances of different musical styles (from classical music to the forefront of urban trends), artistic training, testing and improvement of orchestras as well as other of residents or travelers groups. Moreover, has an educative dimension, promoting concerts, workshops and activities for families, children and school audiences.

All Main Conference participants are invited to celebrate the remarkable date of the 20th anniversary of EERA in this contemporary iconic building. After the official part of the ceremony that will take place at Sala Suggia, a light dinner will be served spread in several spaces of Casa da Música. As part of the summer programme the House of Music offers free entrance concerts outside the building. Some will take place during ECER conference days.
