The Sausalito – Cascais Sister City Council is pleased to present Sandra Pinheiro Pacheco with Steve Soares and Gino Almeida in concert at The Pines. This will be the 9th fund raising event at The Pines in support of the Sausalito-Cascais Youth Sailing Exchange between sailors from Clube Naval de Cascais and the Sausalito Yacht Club.
Fado is the national song of Portugal. The fado is intimately intertwined with Portuguese food, wine, and culture. Fado expresses and conveys - in the international language of music - the emotions of love, joy, sadness, pain, passion loss, and hope. To truly understand Portuguese culture one needs to experience "Uma Noite do Fado" (A Night of Fado).
The fado is traditionally performed in the fado clubs of the ancient Alfama and Barrio Alto districts of Lisboa (Lisbon) in small wine cellars, which venues provide excellent sound dynamics for the acoustically-performed art form. We are extremely fortunate to be able to present and recreate this "Clube do Fado" ambience in Sausalito, in the wine cellar of the beautiful The Pines mansion, originally built in 1888, and painstakingly remodeled and restored to its former glory. This venue will truly recreate a transportive experience of being in a Clube do Fado in the Alfama or Barrio Alto districts of Lisboa, in our very own Sausalito.
The doors at The Pines will open at 6PM. Lite Portuguese Petiscos will be served in the dining room. No-host wine and beer will be available on the terrace. Raffle tickets for a 5 night 5 star hotel in Cascais, Portugal will be available to purchase at the event.
We are looking to forward to seeing you at this special concert at The Pines
