The concert will be introduced by the well-known writer and stand-up comedian Jorge Serafim. Admission is free.

John says that the orchestral players, for whom he has the greatest admiration, are not only colleagues but also his friends. Should he be invited to conduct the orchestra as an occasional guest maestro, he says "It would be an honour". Is was also an honour for the Orquestra Clássica do Sul to be conducted by John Avery several times, in the last years.

Over the past 13 years, John has composed or arranged some 300 pieces for the orchestra. Some of these pieces will be performed at the concert.

The repertoire for the concert will be decidedly "light," with well-known themes from films and musicals as well as popular ‘standards’. It will be, for sure, a pleasant evening to enjoy with friends and family.

The last concert as Associate Maestro of Orquestra Clássica do Sul will be on the 28th October at the main auditorium of Algarve University, at 7.00pm. Entrance is free and everyone is invited.
