The event takes place on the second night of the7th edition of the Madeira Organ festival, organized by Direcção Regional de Cultura – Secretaria Regional da Economia, Turismo e Cultura, under the artistic direction of João Vaz.

Wolfgand Amadeus Mozart wrote these sonatas to be played in the Salzburg cathedral. They are fairly short pieces (mass couldn’t exceed one hour), but they are now considered little musical gems, some similar to organ and orchestra concerts in miniature, spreading pleasure amongst all who hear them.

Until October 30th, the 7th Madeira Organ Festival offers locals and visitors a total of eleven concerts, all of them freely accessible, in Funchal and in Machico, namely in the parish church of Machico and in Porto da Cruz, while in Funchal the concerst take place at the Colégio, the Cathedral, the churches of São Pedro and São Martinho and the convents of Santa Clara and Bom Jesus.
