Archived 12 September 2026The first weekend combines a learning session and a concert; people need to choose the correct date and ticket or registration route.
- The Loulé opening is on 26 and 27 September.
- A vocal masterclass is listed for 11:00 on Saturday.
- The Sunday concert is listed for 17:00.
- The festival later visits Lagos and Lagoa in October.
Two different ways to take part
The 26 September session at Cineteatro Louletano is a singing masterclass led by Polly Gibbons and requires advance registration. The following day she performs with the Algarve jazz orchestra, with tickets sold for the concert.
Those are distinct events: a concert ticket should not be assumed to reserve a masterclass place, and a masterclass registration does not necessarily include admission to the performance.
Make a weekend of it
Loulé is the first stop of a programme that continues in Lagos and Lagoa in October. Check the individual date, venue and availability rather than treating the festival as a single continuous event.
If travelling from another Algarve town, allow time for parking and the route to Cineteatro Louletano. Confirm any accessibility need with the venue before booking.
