Notas de Contacto, an inclusive ensemble, rehearses weekly at the headquarters of the Portuguese Chamber Orchestra. These rehearsals put into practice the new methodologies created for the project, including exercises and group improvisation dynamics, as well as the development and creation of works for later presentation to the public.

Notas de Contacto, an inclusive ensemble of people with cognitive and intellectual disabilities, is part of the solidarity programme of the Orquestra de Câmara Portuguesa – Associação Musical. The partnership established with CERCIOEIRAS in 2009 develops a strategic vision of active citizenship in artistic and social inclusion and valorisation.
