NAUTICAL AGENDA 2023
The strategic objectives of the Esposende Nautical Station (ENE) are the integrated tourism offer, based on the potential of the blue economy, with nautical activities considered an anchor tourism product. It is also intended to enhance a multipolar tourism offer between the different products: nautical tourism, cultural and creative tourism, nature tourism, recreation and leisure tourism, festivals and pilgrimages, accessible tourism and gastronomy and wines.
The municipality of Esposende, as the coordinating entity of the Esposende Water-sports Resort, together with its partners, promotes the entire programme of water-sports events for the current year.
The Nautical Agenda appears, thus, with the aim of showing the existing dynamics in the territory, representing an added value for the citizens and foreign and national visitors, and all those who constitute this local network.

CONCERT "MUSIC, FEAST AND DEVOTION AT THE DAWN OF ESPOSENDE
Surunyo Gang
Portugal and Spain were the stage, during the 16th and 17th centuries, of one of the most remarkable eras of poetic and musical production in the history of European culture. The documentary sources that have come down to us provide a vision of extraordinary dynamism in the circulation and sharing of music in the Iberian world through diversified networks of institutional and personal relationships (through chapel masters, poets, musicians and even kings). In this fervent context, the chapel masters (the composers of the time) produced a vast amount of music for the most important feasts (religious and civil). Unfortunately, most of this extraordinary repertoire did not resist the hardships of time and is lost today. The music from the time of the foundation of the municipality of Esposende fits, unfortunately, in this category. It is possible, however, to have an idea of the music that would accompany an occasion of such importance. Resorting to diverse Portuguese and Spanish sources, the Bando do Surunyo has gathered a set of works chronologically and aesthetically very close to those that were actually heard in Esposende and in the region. These works combine devotion, poetry, feast and theatre, in a sound trip that, joining history and imagination, tries to give a glimpse of the solemnities that would mark the royal charter of 1572.
Musical Direction: Hugo Sanches
Co-production: Artway
Partnership: Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Esposende
The concert will be preceded by the protocol session of the signing of the Deposit Contract of the Historical Archive of Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Esposende in the Municipal Archive of Esposende.
Concert integrated in the commemorations of the International Day of Archives and of the 450 years of the elevation of Esposende to town and of the foundation of the municipality
