Conference Dinner
Conference Dinner
The Palácio Alverca which now hosts the Casa do Alentejo is a XVII century building that was granted the classification of “Public Interest Building”. It once hosted one of the first Lisbon casinos, the Magestic Club, and its revivalist style stems from that time, the 1920's.
In 1981 the House of Alentejo acquired the building.
Two beautiful rooms make up the Restaurant Casa do Alentejo. While one of the rooms is ornamented with tile panels created by Jorge Colaço (beginning of the 20th century), the other one is coated with tile panels from a 17th century palace. Both of them provide a peaceful environment, ideal to enjoy the gastronomy of the Alentejo region.
It is located at Rua das Portas de Santo Antão, right in the centre of the Lisbon’s “Baixa”. Step in at number 58, climb up the stone stairs and you will find yourself in an Arab courtyard. Go to the second floor and be mesmerized by the panel covered corridor that provides the access to our two grand party halls. The “Salão dos Espelhos” hall, decorated in the style of Louis XVI, has decorative stucco and is ornamented by hand-painted panels by Benvindo Ceia. The other room has a neo renaissance ambience and hosts romantic paintings by Alentejo born artist Domingos Costa.

Santo Inácio Choir Concert
Santo Inácio Choir Concert
Santo Inácio Choir began in 2002, and it has his residency at Colégio São João de Brito in Lisbon. Its purpose is to disseminate choral music through its liturgical, cultural and convivial aspects. It is directed by Maestro Padre João Caniço and has 30 members, all amateurs. They have over 300 performances and recorded several CDs and have performed frequently in religious ceremonies, including the coming of the Popes to Portugal, Concerts at the Belém Cultural Center, Torre do Tombo, recitals of popular songs and numerous annual performances at Christmas. Although the St. Ignatius choir is essentially a chapel choir, the acquisition of the Leeflang pipe organ, installed in the Colegio São João de Brito church, has given a new dimension and broadened its repertoire with choir and organ pieces.
The organist António Duarte, studied music at the Gregorian Institute of Lisbon where, under the supervision of Sibertin-Blanc, he completed the Higher Course in Organ. He is an organ teacher at the School of Music of the National Conservatory in Lisbon and the School of Music of Our Lady of Cape Linda-a-Velha, and organist of the Cathedral in Lisbon.
