The unique event creates a platform for both professional and developing artists to perform, ranging from seasoned vocalists to emerging talents taking their first steps on stage. “In the Spotlight was created as a way to showcase developing artists,” explains Gracie, who typically hosts vocal retreats throughout the year, culminating in live showcases where participants can share their progress.

This Christmas edition marked a departure from the usual retreat-to-stage format, bringing together a diverse lineup of local and international performers in a standalone celebration. The electric atmosphere at Dano’s provided the perfect backdrop for artists to connect with an appreciative Algarve audience while supporting a worthy cause.

Whether you’re a music lover or an aspiring performer, In the Spotlight offers an intimate evening of live music that celebrates talent at every level.
