After hosting Harmonie des Mineurs, we want to take Filarmónica de São Brás de Alportel to Roche la Molière in 2019. This is something all of the involved in Portugal and France are looking forward to.
The exchange between Roche la Molière and São Brás de Alportel has begun in 2015. It was the idea of Miguel Dias, an emigrant from São Brás de Alportel in France. He felt the desire to link his hometown and the town he now calls home - Roche la Molière. The two bands were challenged and the contact to reach that goal was initiated among the associations and municipalities. Small commissions from Filarmónica de São Brás de Alportel, Harmonie des Mineurs and Centre Musical Municipal de Roche la Molière participated in three musical and cultural exchanges. In 2018, happenned the fourth exchange when thirty musicians from Harmonie des Mineurs came to São Brás, in order to get to know our musical tradition and take part in Festa das Tochas Floridas. To complete this cicle of exchanges, we want to take Filarmónica de São Brás de Alportel to Roche la Molière in 2019, a so-long desire among everyone involved.
