General Information
d'Orfeu has a staff consisting of around 10 persons, has a 450.000€/year budget coming from the official supporters (Ministry of Culture, Águeda's Town Hall and other organisations) and also from the activities' revenue.
We have an unstoppable flow of cultural events (musical, theatrical...), a traditional music school, constant workshops, festivals for children, and so on. There are also many SVE volunteers coming to work with us.
Our main partners are the State, the townships, promoters and sponsors and also the local community.
Mission and Objectives
Our goal is to give a cultural boost to the local community, contributing to a social enrichment, a most civic interaction between the people and uniting everyone through art.
Main Projects / Activities
Our main projects are:
"festim" - an inter-municipal world-music festival that brings artists from all over the world to our little country.
"OuTonalidades" - a music festival that unites both Portugal and Spain, merging artists and venues.
"O gestO Orelhudo" - a musical/theatric event full of comedy.
