| Nuno Costa (November 4, 1986 – Cerva, Portugal) studied music composition at the Royal Conservatoire of Antwerp, under Wim Henderickx, the Escola Superior de Música, Artes e Espectáculo (Porto) with Eugénio Amorim, the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Ceclia (Rome) under Ivan Fedele, and electronic music at the Haute École de Musique de Genève with Luis Naón, Michael Jarrell and Gilbert Nouno. He attended masterclasses with Andre, Saariaho, Aperghis and many others, participated in the Darmstädter Ferienkurse, the Late Fall Banff Musicians in Residence and was also selected for a residence at The Camargo Foundation (France, 2019). Costa has received numerous scholarships and awards including the Fondation Nicati-de Luze and Istituto Italiano di Cultura scholarships, the ISCM Young Composer Award, the Bourse artistique (Casa de Velázquez – Académie de France à Madrid, 2016), a Laureate from Fondation Royaumont (Voix Nouvelles, 2018), and won the impuls International Composition Competition (Klangforum Wien 2019). He also was selected to compose a chamber opera for 63º Festival Internazionale di Musica Contemporanea della Biennale di Venezia. Nuno has a special interest in improvisational work with groups of people who are not necessarily professional musicians and enjoys letting himself be carried away by the imagination that nighttime sky observation allows – the infinity of the universe: the brilliance of its stars and the colors of its planets. |
