Directed and presented by Martim Sousa Tavares, this is a unique and unmissable concert where the orchestra takes the form of a river, through the national premiere of two scores by a duet of major composers of our time.
From John Luther Adams, Pulitzer Prize-winning composer and ecologist, author of a catalog where music and nature merge on the same palette, the premiere of Become River, part of the Become trilogy, with its sister works entitled Become Ocean and Become Desert, will be presented.
An evocative piece that, from a simple descending melodic line, like a spring, branches out into a whole network of tributaries of a great musical river.
From Philip Glass, master of detailed and pulsating minimalism, the Algarve Orchestra will present the fascinating score of Waters of the Amazon, where the first eight movements represent eight rivers that cross the world's largest rainforest, with the ninth and final movement being that of the Amazon River, a glorious source of life on the planet and a core inspiration for the composer. In this unique concert, the orchestra creates a symbiosis between music and the life found in the rivers, reminding us that what is beautiful and precious, like nature, should be loved and preserved by us.

Flat lagoon-side tracks between Faro airport and Quinta do Lago where flamingos feed in old salt pans. The Ludo estate is the Ria Formosa at its most generous: former salinas and freshwater ponds threaded by sandy service tracks that anyone can walk or cycle. Flamingos are the headline act and are present most of the year, joined by spoonbills, black-winged stilts and, in the pines, chameleons you will almost certainly not spot. The route connects to the São Lourenço birdwatching trail, so you can make a morning of it, and the airport runway makes a surreal backdrop for photographs. Start from the dirt road off the Praia de Faro bridge or from the Quinta do Lago side, go early for the light, and bring binoculars.
The long wooden footbridge across the Ria Formosa at Quinta do Lago, at its best in the hour after sunrise. By mid morning this boardwalk is a procession of beach bags, but at dawn it belongs to herons, joggers and whoever bothered to set an alarm. The bridge crosses lake, marsh and dune on its way to Praia da Quinta do Lago, and the low light across the wetland is the closest the Golden Triangle gets to wilderness. Anglers work the channel below, and the São Lourenço nature trail begins by the lake if you want to extend the walk. Park at the Praia da Quinta do Lago car park at the end of the avenue; arriving before eight in summer also means beating the parking queue.
The ruins of a grand Roman villa at Estói, complete with fish mosaics and a temple that later became a church. Milreu was a luxury estate from the first to the fourth century, and what survives is remarkably legible: bathhouse walls with dolphin and fish mosaics, olive presses, and the tall podium temple that early Christians later converted, one of the few of its kind in Portugal. Interpretive panels are decent and the site rarely draws more than a handful of visitors at a time, so you can take it slowly under the trees while the rural setting drives home how comfortable Roman country life was. Pair it with the palace gardens up the road in Estói; the walk between the two takes about ten minutes.
Ask it here. People who live in the Algarve answer, and no question is too small.
