1. Além Mar Festival
The inaugural Além Mar Festival, organized by Aurum et Púrpura – Núcleo de Criação Artístico, will take place on the islands of São Miguel, Pico, Faial and Flores. The concerts in Faial will be held on February 3, 8, 11, and 16 at the Teatro Faialense, the Museum of Horta, the Casa Manuel de Arriaga and the Igreja do Carmo.
The primary goal of the Festival is to bring together the musical expressions of the Portuguese mainland and the islands in order to foster an inter-Atlantic cultural and social dialogue.
In order to accomplish this, in addition to the musical program, it offers a novel and distinctive typology and program in the area, generating educational possibilities for the general public.
