biography
The Banda Municipal de Câmara de Lobos, in Madeira, was founded on 18 November 1872, in the hamlet of Saraiva, on the initiative of João Nóbrega de Noronha, a military man from Porto Santo who had settled in Câmara de Lobos. It was then known as Filarmónica Recreio dos Lavradores.
It celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2022 and continues to be a presence at the municipality's festivities, such as the Festa da Castanha do Curral das Freiras.
