| Brief description |
The Portuguese Air Force Wind Orchestra was founded on 31 December 1957 at the instigation of the then Secretary of State for Aviation. It currently reports directly to the Chief of Staff of the Air Force and all its activities are coordinated by its own office. It is considered the Aeronautical Coronel, a distinctive mark of the Portuguese Air Force that identifies all its units, and its coat of arms bears the motto: "SERVING WITH TECHNOLOGY AND ART".
During its existence, several concerts have demonstrated the outstanding soloistic, artistic and technical level of its instrumentalists and the dignity of the leadership of its conductors. The Air Force Wind Orchestra, mostly composed of top-class musicians, not only participates in official military ceremonies of the Portuguese Air Force and the State Protocol, but also contributes to the enrichment of Portuguese musical life as an element of cultural dissemination, giving concerts of the highest level throughout the country and representing Portugal internationally. The band was awarded the Gold Medal for Special Merit in 1997 for fulfilling its mission in an exemplary manner and contributing to raising the prestige of the Portuguese Air Force, the Armed Forces and Portugal. |
