Alexandre Delgado António Pinho Vargas António Victorino d’Almeida Carlos Marecos Clotilde Rosa Eurico Carrapatoso João Madureira João Pedro Oliveira João Rafael José Luís Ferreira Luís Cardoso Luís Tinoco Miguel Azguime Nuno Côrte-Real Sérgio Azevedo Vasco Mendonça
... and the list will keep on expanding. So you see, there's a lot of work ahead!
Did you know that several kings of Portugal were composers? And that, nowadays, many of our composers are granted international composition awards? The Portuguese musical patrimony is rich and varied and "Musicalia - The Portuguese Spirit" wants to show it to the whole wide world, in this new TV/internet series of video clips that is to be shot in breathtaking architectural and natural sites in the country, that will make you want to visit.
