"Fado ao Centro is a cultural project that was born in Coimbra in 2010, and is the result of the passion that 3 musicians, former students of the University of Coimbra, have for Fado de Coimbra, for the city, for its traditions, culture and heritage.
Since its inception, Fado ao Centro has been dedicated to our city and to those who visit us, every day of the year, with the aim of defending and preserving this Musical Heritage of Coimbra.
Casa Fado ao Centro is a Cultural Center – Fado House. Located in the historic city center, it opens its doors every day of the year without exception, to welcome all those who want to come and discover, remember and appreciate the genuine experience and academic traditions surrounding Fado de Coimbra.
Every day at 6:00 p.m., we perform our live show, a unique cultural experience and an opportunity for witness the magic of Fado de Coimbra, performed by some of the city's most renowned musicians. Book your place and visit us
An important part of our activity is also the staging of Fado de Coimbra shows at a wide variety of events, throughout the country and abroad
Since the beginning of our cultural project, we have always cherished the desire to teach, to pass on this passion to all those who, in addition to listening, wish to become performers of Fado de Coimbra.
Creating the Fado ao Centro Music School has always been a dream, which we realized in 2013 and which, since then, has been growing in number of students and in notable artistic results.
We have gradually witnessed, with pride, the emergence of new talents of Fado de Coimbra, who have been establishing themselves as performers of recognized value, even performing at various events, on important stages in our country.
An integral part of our school is the recently opened Fado ao Centro Instrument Building Workshop, where courses on building string instruments are taught.
The high demand for the Building Courses has proven the success of this new venture by the Fado ao Centro Music School, which is growing rapidly." - https://fadoaocentro.com/quem-somos-2/
