LUÍS TINOCO "IN FOCUS" ON MIC.PT IN JULY
In July the mic.pt “In Focus” section is dedicated to Luís Tinoco, who in November will premier at the Citè de la Musique a new piece for spatialized orchestra, “Cercle Intérieur” – a commission of the Radio France Philharmonic Orchestra. Born in a family with strong musical traditions, he graduated in composition from the Lisbon Superior School of Music in order to continue the composition course at the Royal Academy of Music in London. Recently he has completed his PhD studies at the University of York exercising, simultaneously to his activity as composer, the function as teacher at the Lisbon Superior School of Music. In the context of programming and promoting new music one should emphasise his collaboration with the Antena 2 (RTP) as author and producer of radiophonic programmes dedicated to new music, and as artistic director of the Young Musicians Award (Prémio Jovens Músicos). Luís Tinoco’s music "can" be perceived as a journey through the memories, which fill the sonorous landscape of the 20th century: Igor Stravinsky, György Ligeti, [Harrison Birtwistle, Louis Andriessen, Toru Takemitsu, György Kurtág, Magnus Lindberg], from jazz to electronic music.”
