Reanimar os coretos em Portugal

Reanimar os Coretos em Portugal



A bandstand is a circular or semicircular structure set in a park, garden, pier, or indoor space, designed to accommodate musical bands performing concerts. A simple construction, it both creates an ornamental focal point and also serves acoustic requirements while providing shelter for the changeable weather, if outdoors.

Many bandstands in the United Kingdom originated in the Victorian era as the British brass band movement gained popularity. Smaller bandstands are often not much more than gazebos. Much larger bandstands such as that at the Hollywood Bowl may be called bandshells and usually take a shape similar to a quarter sphere. Though many bandstands fell into disuse and disrepair in the post-war period, the cultural project the Bandstand Marathon has seen bandstands across the U.K utilized for free live concerts since 2008.

Un kiosque à musique est une construction pour le divertissement, typique au xixe siècle et début xxe de l'aménagement des villes et des parcs, très ouverte, symétrique par rapport à l'axe central (forme panoptique) et de plan polygonal.
Le kiosque des places publiques accueille les spectacles d'artistes et les concerts de musiciens. Quoique plus modeste, il est l'héritier des divers kiosques des sociétés de cour. En 1893, le kiosque à musique est bien souvent un simple abri circulaire dans un jardin public ou sur une place publique qui permet d'accueillir des musiciens pour un concert en plein air, en journée ou en nocturne si l'éclairage est offert.
