Madeira Camerata at Reid’s Palace

The Madeira Camerata, a chamber ensemble from the Madeira Classical Orchestra, brings an evening of Baroque music to Reid’s Palace, the clifftop hotel that has welcomed travellers to Funchal since 1891. Under violinist Norberto Gomes, the musicians play works by Corelli, Bach, Telemann and Handel.

It is a fine way to spend a December evening in Funchal: candlelit-season music in historic rooms, just as the city’s Christmas lights are switched on.
