IX International Piano Festival
of Oeiras
RUY DE CARVALHO MUNICIPAL AUDITORIUM IN CARNAXIDE
The Oeiras International Piano Festival is now in its 9th edition.
Over the last few years, we have brought some of the world’s best pianists to Oeiras in July. Our mission has been to share some of the wonders of the instrument that unites us all and to engage the community in piano music.

Preparations for each new edition of the Oeiras International Piano Festival (FIPO) begin on August 1st of each year, as soon as the previous edition comes to an end. This was the case with the eighth edition that is now being announced.
This timely and rigorous program has allowed us to bring high-quality international pianists to the municipality of Oeiras, arousing a growing interest in “classical music” and generating a community of culture that places Oeiras on the itinerary of the most prestigious summer festivals.
From year to year, there has been a growing audience, which sells out the shows, increases its musical literacy and exercises its fundamental right to artistic and cultural enjoyment. From the outset, the Flor da Murta Music Academy has recognized that a Festival of this nature, whose ex libris is the free admission of high-level performances, has only been possible thanks to the decisive support of Oeiras City Council and patrons such as BPI – La Caixa Foundation and the Areeiro Senior Residences, as well as a partnership with entities such as RDP 2, Vila Galé Hotels and the Nadir Afonso Foundation.
