“The most beautiful thing about music is that it can act as a time machine. A song—its lyrics, its melody, its mood—can, like nothing else, transport us to any moment in the past.”
Lisa Schroeder

Who we are?

We are a non-profit cultural organization that is composed of a team that has been working together in order to increase cultural landscapes through various presentations of musical background and the participation in events related to the widening of access and democratization of musical artistic practices. Grupetto has as its mission the development and promotion of cultural activities in diversified communities. This association is born through the realization of its members of the lack of cultural activities in their municipality, Valongo, part of the metropolitan area of Porto, and how different the cultural situation is regarding Porto’s. Grupetto’s purpose is to understand and fill the gaps regarding cultural opportunities, as well as widen as much as possible the horizons of the offer and participation in musical activities. The target audience of communal cultural action are individuals of all ages, highlighting the intervention with very young children (nursery and pre-school), elementary school age children and senior citizens, this way targeting the integration through music in all life stages of the population. It is thus promoted the early contact with music and its integration as a central tool in the processes of sustainable aging.
