Gonçalo Marques

Raised in a town near Lisbon, he began his euphonium studies at the National Conservatory of Music in Lisbon.

Gonçalo received his bachelor’s degree in euphonium performance from the Lisbon School of Music. In 2018, he completed his master’s degree in music education also at the School of Music.

Currently a teacher at the Metropolitan Vocational School and the Óbidos Music Academy, Gonçalo has the opportunity to share his passion and technical ideas with his students with love and commitment.

As a guest lecturer, he is often invited to give master classes and workshops around the country. As a performer, Gonçalo Marques is the first euphonist of the Portuguese Air Force Band, with whom he recorded a solo piece in 2019 for the Molenaar Edition.

In search of new musical ideas and to showcase his creative side, Gonçalo combined his Sovereign 967T with a piano and oboe in a project of original music written by the trio Duas Chamadas Não Atendidas, who recorded their first album in 2019, due out in 2020.

Gonçalo Marques is also an active member of the Portuguese Tuba and Euphonium Association, with which he organizes a number of festivals, master classes and competitions, contributing to the development of the tuba and euphonium in Portugal.
