ÉVORA HISTORICAL SOUNDSCAPE

ACCESS THE ONLINE PLATFORM

PASEV project aims to explore new perspectives regarding the cultural manifestations in Évora (UNESCO heritage from 1986), through the study and analysis of diverse sound related events from 1540 to 1910. The goal is to contribute to the valorisation and revaluation of Historical Soundscape Heritage and to a broad understanding of Évora as a cultural space exploiting a sensorial living of urban space, articulating scientific research, and cultural tourism. The main tool was the creation of digital resources (web page and digital platform) to disseminate the results, with the dynamic of digital transference of knowledge and disclose of Évora’s soundscape.

PASEV PROJECTS in progress

RESTORATION OF THE BELLS OF SANTO ANTÃO CHURCH

PASEV promoted the restoration Project of the 10 Bells of Church of Santo Antão in the heart of Praça do Giraldo, the centre square of Évora. The process of restoration will be finished in 2023 and was a symptomatic expansion of the objectives of PASEV, only achieved because of the sensibilization of the main institutions of the city in relation to the value of the Bells Heritage. Related to this project we emphasise the composition of original music by contemporary composers of musical works including the bells of this church, with the premiere of the works at the inauguration of the small carillon associated with the restored bells; we are also promoting masterclasses for musicians concerning the art of historical Bell Ringing
