Trosolwyg
Born in Lisbon, I have taught at various music universities and conservatoires in Portugal, Hong Kong and the UK since 1999.
Over this period my work as a composer has been regularly commissioned, performed, recorded and broadcast, particularly in these three countries but also in America and all over Europe. I have been based in the UK since 2007 and I hold masters and doctoral degrees from the Royal College of Music.
More details are available on my personal website.
