other popular venues to catch live classical ensembles include the sala cecilia meireles in the centro neighborhood, for its lovely acoustics, as well as the centro cultural banco do brasil, and the fundação eva klabin, where orchestral works are performed periodically.

the most well-known classical music festival is called música no museu, and is held in various churches, museums, and cultural centers around the city - another small but promising sign of classical music's influence in rio comes from the favela neighborhood of mangueira, famous for being the home of one of the city's most traditional samba school.
