The existence of a symphony orchestra has long been an aspiration of music lovers in Algarve. That dream has finally become a reality with 'Orquestra Sinfónica do Algarve'. As other famous orchestras such as the Berliner Philharmonic don't consist solely of Germans or Berliners, this one does not comprise only of musicians from the Algarve.
The creation of this orchestra was possible due to the support from Portimão, and from other mayors such as Albufeira and Faro. The cultural output for the region will be richer, attracting new musical talent and reaching new audiences.
On Oct 1st 2021 it starts in Teatro das Figuras, Faro, with Israel-pianist Ido Zeev under maestro Armando Mota. He will play Tchaikovsky’s nr.1. Next evening, October 2nd, also at 9pm, in Palacio dos Congressos, Albufeira, with Gonçalo Pescada playing a piece of Mota. Mota studied in both Viena and Berlin, teached earlier in Lagoa and arranged conserts in Portimão.
