A celebration of the joy and light of Christmas in the Christian tradition, centred on the figure of Mary - a source of inspiration for great composers throughout history. Through the many approaches of the Italian Baroque, in a dialogue between styles and artistic expressions that share a common spirituality, the third concert in this series, A beleza – Louvor no Barroco italiano (Beauty - Praise in the Italian Baroque), invites the audience to a moment of devotion and contemplation, where music becomes an expression of faith and communion.

Música nas Igrejas is a program designed by Filipe Faria. Supported by a poetic narrative around the themes of birth, beginning and nativity, between the popular devotional of the 16th and 17th centuries and the sacred erudite from the 17th to the 20th century, it started with O dia – Entre a luz e a sombra no Barroco ibérico (The day - between the light and shadow of Iberian Baroque), by Concerto Campestre. It was followed by A palavra – Voz e silêncio na devoção ibérica (The Word - Voice and silence in the Iberian devotion), by Sete Lágrimas and will be concluded with A noite - Mistério e Luz do Natal no mundo (The night – Mystery and light at Christmas around the world), by the Coro de Câmara do Instituto Gregoriano de Lisboa.
