Patrícia Sucena de Almeida studied Electroacoustic Music and Composition with the Portuguese composer João Pedro Oliveira at the University of Aveiro (Portugal) and in 1997 she finished her degree in Music Teaching. In 1998 she graduated with a master’s degree in Composition from the University of Edinburgh, as a scholarship holder of the Science and Technology Foundation (Ministry of Education – Portugal), within the 2nd Community Support Framework. In the same year she started a doctorate programme (still as a scholarship student) in Composition at the City University of London and in 2000 she continued her composition studies at the University of Southampton with the British composer Michael Finnissy, finishing her PhD in 2004. Between 2007-13 she developed a postdoctoral project based on the interaction of music and other media, having created a new concept that characterises works “combining” various means of artistic expression – Transversal Multi Art.
