The Festival de Estoril Lisboa has been held since 1975 in the various historical auditoriums and national monuments of Lisbon, Estoril and Cascáis. A member of the European Festivals Association, as of 2012 it adopted the name Festival de Estoril Lisboa and is organised by the Associação Internacional de Musica da Costa do Estoril (AIMCE).
With the collaboration of Acción Cultural Española through the PICE mobility awards, the festival, now in its 40th year, is featuring in its programme the vihuela player José Miguel Moreno as part of the Mare Nostrum project devoted to Mediterranean culture and its influence on other cultures. José Miguel Moreno is one of the greatest specialists in historical plucked string instruments with a repertoire that spans from the sixteenth century to the present day. A co-founder of Glossa, he had previously made recordings with Teresa Berganza for Philips and with Hespèrion XX for Astrée. As a soloist or with his groups – La Romanesca and Orphénica Lyra (specialised in Spanish Renaissance and Baroque music), Moreno had made a number of recordings of key importance in establishing Glossa’s prestige in the world: La Guitarra Española (1536–1836). Other essential registers are explored in El mundo sonoro del Quijote, and Las músicas en la época de Velázquez. This performance by José Miguel Moreno at the 40th Estoril and Lisbon Festival will mark the start of the ongoing participation of Spanish creators and performers over the coming years.
