After the sell-out autumn concert at Albufeira Municipal Theatre, which centred on song and dance themes, the Algarve International Orchestra is now rehearsing its next programme of famous and familiar film scores.
WORDS Carolyn Ellison
If the haunting melodies of Morricone move you or the iconic motifs of John William remind you to ‘phone home’ or ‘get a bigger boat’, you might be interested in attending the next concert. Whether sailing on the Black Pearl or marching on the Bastille, take your fancy or fuel your imagination, the orchestra looks forward to welcoming you into the world of the silver screen.
The Algarve International Orchestra is a regional community orchestra with members from Luz to Loulé, Ferragudo to Faro. It is composed of musicians of all ages, nationalities, and varied experiences, from amateurs to pupils to retired professionals. All that is required is enthusiasm to participate.
The group rehearses in Paderne, in the Albufeira conselho. Its repertoire includes light classical and popular themes. We always welcome new musicians or even guests. As a regional community orchestra, we strive to reach all areas of the Algarve, and previous events have included Faro, Albufeira, Carvoeiro, and Portimão. A Night at the Movies is on 10 May at the Cineteatro de Saõ Bras de Alportel at 8.30 pm. Tickets only can be purchased online through the link below, priced at €10.
Further venues and dates are being discussed for the same programme. Please follow our Facebook page for updates on this and all other events.
