Who it is for

A week designed for anyone who wants to experience music from within.

Cascais Music Camp welcomes children and young people aged 8 to 15, from curious participants with no musical training to students who already study an instrument or singing.

Every participant plays an active role. Activities are tailored to different levels, allowing everyone to experiment, contribute to the group and progress throughout the week.

The journey takes participants through discovery, creation, rehearsal and performance. More than simply filling the school holidays, the aim is to build a complete, collaborative and memorable musical experience.

Two weeks in July. Limited places.

Choose one week or join us for both, subject to availability.
