Biography

Born in 1998, João Alexandre Dias completed the 8th Grade in Classical and Jazz Piano at Trinity College London, graduated in Musicology from the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities of Universidade Nova de Lisboa, and also obtained an MSc in Historical Musicology from the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities of Universidade Nova de Lisboa. As part of his dissertation, he produced a critical edition of the “Missa Piquena” by Marcos Portugal. His research focuses on the philological and paleographic study of musical sources and their subsequent critical editing, with special emphasis on 18th and 19th-century repertoires. He is currently pursuing a PhD in Historical Musicology at the same institution. His thesis project is called “The Teaching Methods of Keyboard Instruments at the Royal Patriarchal Seminary (1713-1834): Edition and study of pedagogical practices based on its sources”. Concurrently, he has been active as a composer, and some of his works have achieved relevant positions in a few international competitions. In addition to these activities, he is also a teacher at music schools, where he teaches Piano, Music Theory, History of Music, and Analysis and Composition.
