Music festivals announce upcoming performances in Portugal

The Santarém Organ Festival (FÓS) 2026 will host four concerts across the parishes of Gançaria, Abitureiras, Almoster, and Arneiro das Milhariças between November 13 and 15. Part of the “À Volta do FÓS – A Beleza do Canto” cycle, the recitals aim to decentralize culture by bringing music to local religious heritage sites. The program features a variety of styles, including classical, jazz, and popular music, with performers such as Gabriela Braga Simões, Hugo Raro, António Lourenço Menezes, and Eva Braga Simões.

Additionally, the 13th edition of the Às Vezes o Amor festival has announced new dates for February 2027. The festival will expand its reach to Braga, featuring João Pedro Pais and Diogo Piçarra at Forum Braga, and to Leiria, with Amália Hoje performing at Teatro José Lúcio da Silva. These additions follow previous announcements for performances in Porto by Mariza.
