The Lagoa Choir Week is being organised for the 20th time by Ideias do Levante (Lagoa cultural association), in partnership with the municipality, from May 5 to 13.
The festival is described as “non-competitive” and will feature six groups: Coral Polifónica Ecijana (Écija, Spain), Grupo Coral Adágio (Portimão), Grupo Coral de Lagos, Coro Atlântico Juvenil (Sines), Coro do Sol (Portimão), and Coral Ideias do Levante (Lagoa).
The Lagoa Choir Week is the brainchild of José Carlos Bago d’Uva, who said: “This is a time when Lagoa sings in four voices the enchantment of vocal polyphony across the lands of the Levante.”
The opening concert with Coral Polifónica Ecijana, Grupo Coral Adágio, and Coral Ideias do Levante will be held in Porches’ main church on May 5 at 5.30pm.
Grupo Coral de Lagos and Coral Ideias do Levante will perform together on May 9 at Convento S. José in Lagoa from 9pm.
The closing concert with Grupo Coral de Lagos, Coro Atlântico Juvenil, Coro do Sol and Coral Ideias do Levante will be held on May 13 at the Municipal Auditorium in Lagoa at 5pm.
All concerts are free to attend, but registration (free ticket) to attend the concerts on May 9 and 13 is required.
