About Us

The “Associação de Amigos de Música” is a registered, non-profit, private membership club that brings together an international group of friends of music in the Algarve. It was set up in year 1992 to support the musical activities at the now defunct “Centro Cultural de São Lourenço”.  Now around 100 “Amigos” share in our achievements and help us go further in our ambitions. By providing crucial support to our concert season as well as our Young Portuguese Musicians Scholarship programme, Amigos are at the heart of our Friends of Music Club.

Together

A Circle of Music Friends

Since 2013 our focus has been on organizing 18 regular concerts at the new venue of “Os Agostos”. This is unique amongst the Algarve’s concert venues. Situated within the stately home of Monte dos Agostos, in the hills above Sta. Barbara de Nexe, it provides a rustic and intimate space, ideal for chamber music. Artists, too, appreciate it and are inspired by this atmosphere of near “Hausmusik”.
