The II VilaNova Chamber Music Festival will take place in Monchique on November 3, 4, and 5, 2023, at the Main Church – Igreja Matriz, with free admission. This event brings together classical music enthusiasts, both performers and listeners.
Monchique is home to highly skilled musicians, particularly pianists and cellists, who aim to share their expertise with the local community and cultivate an appreciation for this genre of music, in collaboration with other artists from the Algarve.
For the Festival’s opening, compositions by Monchique’s own composers will be featured, an unusual occurrence in events of this kind.Â
In the inaugural edition in 2022, more than 1000 participants enjoyed the experience across three different locations in the village, providing a quality musical experience for residents and visitors alike.
There will also be an open-stage musical afternoon for anyone interested in participating, whether they are amateurs, students, or professionals. Participants can play any instrument, as long as they perform a classical piece. To sign up, simply send an SMS to 925130231 with your name, instrument type, and the title of the piece you will be performing.
