União Filarmónica do Troviscal

União Filarmónica do Troviscal is a non-profit society and granted with the title of “Institution of Public Merit” [1] engaging the music's practice and teaching with headquarters in Troviscal (Oliveira do Bairro), Portugal.

Due to its artistic merit, the Banda Escolar do Troviscal was awarded several prizes in band competitions, gaining high reputation and recognition at national level.

In 1989 a group of local personalities decided to join hands and invite Silas de Oliveira Granjo, a professor and an amateur musician, to establish a non-profit society that would work to restore a wind band in Troviscal.

A music school it's created and the band, now called União Filarmónica do Troviscal, began its regular activity, as any other community wind band in Portugal, with only young children between the ages of six and fourteen.

Since October 2001, the conductor André Filipe Oliveira Granjo is the artistic director.
