Oil and Gas Company Plans to Invest R$ 1 Million in Sponsorship to Brazilian Symphonic Orchestra. Partnership Will Allow Inclusion and Social Protagonism for Children and Adolescents from Communities in Rio de Janeiro
Rio de Janeiro, September 6, 2022 – PRIO, the largest independent oil and gas company in Brazil and a pioneer in the reconstruction and extension of the lifespan of mature oil fields, will invest 1 million reais through a federal law of cultural incentive in partnership with the Brazilian Symphonic Orchestra (OSB). In addition to the social and educational inclusion activities of the OSB, the Musical Connections program includes support for some shows during the artistic season.
The partnership proposal between the oil and gas company PRIO and the OSB aims for a Rio de Janeiro with less inequality and more sustainability, collectivity, balance, and awareness. In addition to culture, the actions that will be promoted by the Orchestra, sponsored by the oil company, are also related to education and environmental conservation.
