Madeira Strikes the Right Note With Organ and Mandolin Festivals This October
This October, Madeira will echo with the sound of history and harmony as two flagship cultural events take centre stage: the 14th Madeira International Organ Festival and the Madeira Mandolin Orchestra’s Weekly Concert Series.
Returning from 17-26 October 2025, the Madeira International Organ Festival will once again transform the island’s historic churches and convents into living stages of sacred music. This 14th edition celebrates the theme of Women in Music, shining a spotlight on female composers and performers, past and present. From Funchal Cathedral to the Convent of Santa Clara, audiences will be immersed in concerts by renowned national and international organists, honouring women’s contribution to music while showcasing the island’s rich liturgical heritage. All concerts are free to attend.
