Founded by Mª Adelaide Freitas Gonçalves, the Symphony Orchestra of Oporto Music Conservatory played an important musical role and gave the opportunity of many Portuguese musicians to perform as soloists. In this concert the pianist Manuela Araújo (teacher of the Conservatory of Music of Porto between 1965 and 1995) interpreted the fifth concert of L. Beethoven for piano and orchestra under the direction of Frederico de Freitas.
