In this sense, we invite the entire student community to use the Cape and Batina in their homes, and throughout the country, to attend the Monumental Serenade, an important moment that marks the beginning of our Festival and celebrate our Tradition that, although suspended We will never let die. It was for this purpose that the QF Organizing Committee, the Academic Association, the Veterans Council and the Rectory have aligned themselves so vehemently in this initiative, that they will count on the performance of our Fado Section to provide this moment as ours as the city. This time we will live the Serenade separately, isolated, in our homes, however, we will be together to celebrate the spirit of the academic experiences of Coimbra that resides in the heart of each of the students who pass through here. “
