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 the Gulbenkian Scholarship.
He previously completed his degree in composition at the Lisbon School of Music and his classical piano course at the Porto Conservatory of Music. 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 Gulbenkian Orchestra and the Het Muziek ensemble (formerly Asko|Schönberg) explores precisely these issues.
