Fado at the Pines IX Presents:
A Night of Fado at The Pines: An Intimate Concert with Mariana Arroja Trio
Mariana Arroja (Fadista), Pia Silva (Harpa) and Richard Miller (guitar)

May 17, 2025 - Doors Open at 6:00pm

The Pines, 33 Miller Ave, Sausalito, CA

The Sausalito – Cascais Sister City Council invites you to an unforgettable evening of music and culture, featuring The Mariana Arroya Trio in an intimate performance at the historic The Pines mansion overlooking Richardson Bay and the City. This special concert, marking the 9th fundraising event for the Sausalito-Cascais Youth Sailing Exchange, will be a celebration of Fado, the soulful national music of Portugal, performed in a setting that evokes the intimate spirit of Lisbon’s famed Fado clubs.

Join us for an evening that blends tradition and innovation. Mariana Arroja, one of Portugal’s most versatile and acclaimed singers, will be joined by Pia Salvia on harp and Richard Miller on guitar. Together, they will transport you into the heart of Fado, with performances from Mariana’s debut album “O meu nome é ninguém” (“My name is no one”), which will be presented live for the first time in California! Mariana’s hauntingly beautiful voice, combined with Pia’s delicate harp and Richard’s masterful guitar, will make for an evening to remember.

Fado, known for its deep expression of Saudade—the longing and nostalgia of the soul—captures emotions of love, joy, loss, passion, and hope. It’s a genre that invites listeners to experience the full spectrum of human emotion. The Pines Mansion, a beautifully restored estate built in 1888, will provide the perfect ambiance for this intimate concert. Enjoy the sounds of Fado in the wine cellar, where acoustics and atmosphere converge to offer a truly transportive experience.

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 3 night stay at 5 star hotel in Cascais, Portugal will be available to purchase at the event.

This event is not only a celebration of Portuguese culture but also a vital fundraiser supporting the Sausalito-Cascais Youth Sailing Exchange program, fostering friendship and collaboration between young sailors from the Clube Naval de Cascais and Sausalito Yacht Club.

Space is limited, so don’t miss this opportunity to experience an unforgettable night of Fado in the heart of Sausalito!

Fado at The Pines continues its tradition of bringing the finest in Portuguese music to Sausalito. From traditional Fado of Lisboa, Fado of Coimbra and to this year’s music from the Northwestern Portuguese Contemporary Roots of Minho. Each style represents a unique part of the Portuguese musical culture.
