- The programme announces 11 concerts across three Madeira municipalities.
- This edition links Madeira's musical connections with 50 years of regional autonomy and the diaspora.
Historic instruments shape the programme
The festival is organised around the organs and acoustic settings of participating venues, with musicians and programmes changing from concert to concert. The theme places regional repertoire and connections in a wider international context.
A festival total does not mean every venue hosts an event every day. Consult the official programme for the selected performance.
Plan venue by venue
Confirm whether a concert requires a ticket, reservation or early arrival and check the venue's accessibility. Churches may remain places of worship with rules that differ from a conventional concert hall.
Travel times between Funchal, Machico and Ponta do Sol vary with traffic and transport. Use the current programme and local journey information on the day.
