José Augusto Alegria Contest for young musicians Sing-Trumpet

Every year Eborae Musica (an Association in Évora, Portugal) organizes a competition - José Augusto Alegria Prize - Contest for young Musicians. This year we'll organize for Sing and Trumpet. The 11th José Augusto Alegria Contest for young musicians from Portugal and abroad will also be held this year. It’s guiding light and patron is Canon José Augusto Alegria, who bequeathed to us an important range of works based on the study and research of various aspects of the “Évora Cathedral School of Music”, mainly from the 16th and 17th centuries. The objectives of the contest include: • fostering the study of music and encouraging excellence of performance; • developing musical taste; • promoting the exchange of learning; • paying tribute to the patron of the contest, Canon José Augusto Alegria, and making his name known.
