Algarve History Association has two events this month.
Following his presentation last month on the industries of the Algarve, Peter Booker will examine, in greater detail, the Algarvian tuna fishing industry. His talk will cover the design and construction of the ‘armações’, the years of the scarcity of tuna and the years of plenty, and the tax regime that nearly killed the industry.
The presentations will take place on Friday, April 19 at 11am in the Tavira Municipal Library and on Tuesday, April 30 at 6pm in the Lagoa Municipal Library.
As normal, there is no formal charge for our presentations, but there will be opportunity to make a voluntary donation.
If you wish to take lunch with the AHA founders, Lynne and Peter Booker, on April 19, please let them know beforehand – peterbooker1347@gmail.com
On Sunday, April 21, at 11am at Quintinha da Música, near Tavira, there will be a special concert featuring students from the Conservatório together with their teachers, who also perform with the Orquestra do Sul.
Their programme will be varied, comprising pieces by Georg Telemann, Astor Piazzolla, Vittorio Monti, Frédéric Chopin and even Dmitri Shostakovich, among others.
This concert gives members an opportunity to support the work of the Conservatório, and to witness, first hand, the progress of the students.
The cost of reservation is €25 per person. For more information and to book your place, please email peterbooker1347@gmail.com
