On Friday 13 November the Music Azores'26 festival holds an open session at the Museu Carlos Machado on São Miguel to close the composition masterclass led by composer Beat Furrer. Conductor Cordula Bürgi and the singers of the Austrian vocal ensemble Cantando Admont take part, and the session ends in a concert of contemporary vocal writing. Entry is free while space lasts. One for listeners who enjoy new music; anyone expecting traditional Azorean song should look elsewhere.
The Museu Carlos Machado is in Ponta Delgada on São Miguel, walkable from the city centre. The listing gives no start time, so check locally and come early, as entry is limited by capacity.
