The 4th Lagoa Piano Festival comes to four different venues this month, and starts this Sunday, May 7.
The festival, organised by Artis XXI – Associação de Educação Artística de Lagoa, will take place each Sunday at 6.30pm throughout this month.
This year’s theme will be about reflecting on the piano in its various dimensions, with different musical interpretations, ranging from solo piano, jazz piano, four-hand piano, and piano concertos with orchestra.
