I am a professional musician, dedicated to ancient pulsed string instruments. As a lutenist and guitarist, I regularly collaborate with the groups “Orquestra Sinfónica Portuguesa”, “Ludovice Ensemble”, “Sete Lágrimas”, “Divino Sospiro”, “Segréis de Lisboa” and “Coro e Orquestra Barroca da Casa da Música”, among others. . I recorded 17 albums with some of these groups and played in more than 20 countries solo or in an ensemble. In 2021 I recorded and edited my first solo album – Cifras de Viola - with new works for viola of 5 orders (baroque guitar) from Musical Manuscript 97 from the General Library of the University of Coimbra. The album was one of the 4 nominated for the Play Awards in the category of best classical/classical music album of 2021. In 2023 I recorded and edited “Sospiro”, the second solo album, for viola (vihuela), with transcriptions and my arrangements of Portuguese Renaissance music. In the same year I published the book of the same name with the tablatures and scores of the works recorded on disc. My research focuses on Portuguese music for guitar and instruments from the same family until the 18th century, specifically, on the repertoire for baroque guitar (viola of 5 orders) found in the 3 most important Portuguese sources from the 18th century, kept by the Library Nacional, Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and General Library of the University of Coimbra. In this context, I intend to record part of this repertoire on disc and edit it in score and tablature.
