With headquarters in the town of Águeda, the Association proposed to raise the cultural level of the local community with an artistic programming persevering, inedited and regular, as its central goals the qualification and continuing loyalty of new audiences. Not without critical financial limitations and infra-structural-alongside a stoic efforts of their professional and voluntary structures, d'Orfeu has obtained increasing results over the years. Being the city of Águeda recognized more by industrial strength, the Association challenged this city to become an important destination of Portuguese cultural itinerary. And, when working the traditional culture, linked its activity to the history and heritage of identity of Águeda, doing it through a universalist and cosmopolitan perspective, by several ways: artistic training, cultural events for all audiences, many artistic creations, own editions, exchanges and international partnerships.
