António Narciso (2004), composer, improviser and pianist, explores the intersections between composition, performance and interdisciplinary collaboration.
In 2025, he began his master's degree in composition at the Amsterdam Conservatory, where he is working under the guidance of Richard Ayres and Maya Verlaak, with the support of a Gulbenkian Scholarship. He previously completed a degree in composition at the Escola Superior de Música de Lisboa and a classical piano course at the Conservatório de Música do Porto. The piano continues to be part of his activity as a creator and performer, and influences the way he constructs and communicates creative spaces.
He is currently particularly interested in the world of improvisation, and seeks to incorporate it into his musical and interdisciplinary creations in order to promote dialogue and deconstruct hierarchies between creator and performer. The work he is developing with the Orquestra Gulbenkian and the Het Muziek ensemble (formerly Asko|Schönberg) explores precisely these issues.
