Over the past decade and a half, several publications have been promoted or sponsored under the official imprint of the Jewish Community of Porto.
The lecture will open with a performance by members of the Mekor Haim and Hamakom choirs singing four songs in Ladino and Hebrew.
Co-founded by two community members, the Mekor Haim Choir has a repertoire of 30 songs in Ladino, Yiddish, German and Hebrew.
The project was led by a Venezuelan artist from the local Jewish community who coordinated a team of Portuguese and foreign colleagues.
The concert at the Holocaust Museum will feature songs in Ladino and Yiddish, performed together by Taybelekh and the Mekor Haim Choir.
