  Two special concerts by the queen of fado, the breathtakingly lyrical and melancholic music of Portugal.

Two special concerts with the great Portuguese fado singer. When Mariza sings, time stands still. Every word is sung with intense concentration, every note hit flawlessly. When she pauses for dramatic effect, we are all with her.' Charlie Gillett, BBC Radio 3. Mariza has added a special third concert on Sunday afternoon, intended for young people (age 7-14) and accompanying adults.
