“Symphonic Christmas” at the Church of São José in Ferreiras

On December 19 at 9:00 p.m., the Church of São José in Ferreiras will host the concert "Symphonic Christmas" by the Algarve Orchestra under the direction of Pablo Urbina.

The magic of the festive season arrives in the form of music, with a charming concert performed by the Algarve Orchestra conducted by Pablo Urbina.

The programme brings together works that, each in their own way, convey the sensations of Christmas, for all ages and from all parts of the world. And of course, as the icing on the cake, there is music from The Nutcracker, the most beloved ballet of all time, written by Tchaikovsky precisely for the Christmas season.

Admission is free, but subject to venue capacity.
