About Me

Music bio:
I was born in Porto, Portugal, and began studying the violin at the age of 3
thtough the Suzuki method. My passion for music has led me to some of the most wonderful concert halls arounf the world, including in Portugal, the USA, UK, Spain, Austria, Germany, Italy, Poland, Switzerland, China and Mozambique. I regularly collaborate with the Polska Filharmonia Baltycka and I have also performed with the Opera Baltycka, Orquestra Sinfónica do Porto Casa da Music, Orchestra XXI, Concertgebouworkest, London Philharmonic Orchestra Foyle Future Firsts, among other orchestras.
I was introduced to the violin through Suzuki method in Porto with Joana Sybert, at the time having also some additional tuition from American Suzuki specialist Betty Haag. I joined the Porto Music Conservatory, where I continued studying with José Paulo Jesus and Tatiana Afanasieva. I later completed my Bachelors in London, at Trinity College of Music, as a Leverhulme Fellow Trust scholar, in the class of teachers Diana Cummings, Matthew Trusler and Clare Thompson. I finished my master's degree in musical performance in the class of professor Radu Ungureanu, at ESMAE, Porto. Throughout my musical training, I participated in several specialization courses and masterclasses, learning from notable violinists such as Vasko Vassilev, Agata Szymczewska, Yuri Zhislin, Gilles Apap, Thomas Christian, Gregory Ahss and Alberto Lysy.
