The AHA’s next concert features the popular Dutch pianist Nikola Meeuwsen
The Algarve History Association presentation for the end of January takes us back to the reconquest of the Algarve and the role of the Military Orders in the various campaigns.
There is continuing interest in the role of the Templars – the Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon – particularly since in Portugal the Order was re-founded as The Military Order of Our Lord Jesus Christ. But it was the Orders of Santiago and Aviz which led the way in the Algarve.
Historian Peter Booker discusses these issues and the present-day existence of the successor Orders in Portuguese civil life.
Friday, January 31: Tavira Municipal Library at 11am
There is no charge, but voluntary contributions are welcome.

The AHA’s next concert features the popular Dutch pianist Nikola Meeuwsen, who will be making his ninth visit to our concert series.
He visited for the first time in 2016 as a teenager, and has since become an international star performer.
His programme will include works by Ligeti, Mendelssohn, Liszt and Chopin; and the second half will feature Mozart’s Jeunehomme Concerto K271.
Nikola has become intensely busy on the concert and recital circuit, and we are fortunate that he chooses to return.
Sunday, February 23: Quintinha da Música, near Tavira, at 4pm.
Reservations at €30 by email through Peter peterbooker1347@gmail.com
