  • The Portuguese National School of Music is suffering from a lack of resources and the whole building is deteriorating at a rapid pace. Last year the school was forced to close 10 classrooms due to problems with water infiltrations in the ceilings and walls and since then students have not been able to prepare in best conditions for hearings and trials, despite the school's efforts.<br />
Meanwhile teachers, students and their parents created a social movement in order to pressure the Ministry of Education to unlock the promised funds for the building restoration.<br />
<br />
A student glues on the outer wall of the Conservatory a paper with the message "Let's continue to talk about what is a commonplace while art is waiting their final burial" during the vigil.<br />
