Jorge Sousa (1990) joined the Aveiro’s Conservatory Calouste Gulbenkian in 2004 where he would finish the Basic course, studying with João Figueiredo. In 2011, he graduated in Saxophone Performance at ESMAE – Oporto’s Superior Music School – under the guidance of Fernando Ramos and Henk van Twillert, receiving the “Rotary Club Porto Award – Foz/ Veloso&Troca, Lda” (prize for the best student of ESMAE 2010/2011). Later, in 2016, he completed his Master’s Degree in Music Teaching at the University of Aveiro, with the dissertation “Expanded Techniques as a Resource and as a Technical Development of the Repertoire for Tenor Saxophone”. He attended several courses – with Claude Delangle, Arno Bornkamp, James Houlik, Antonio Belijar, Mario Marzi – and played with conductors such as Heinz Holligger, Jan Cober, Douglas Bostock. Jorge collaborated with the Oporto Symphonic Orchestra, the Portuguese Saxophone Orchestra, the FLUX Ensemble and with Portuguese Symphonic Band, playing all over the world. Pedagogically speaking, Jorge is developing his class at Academia de Música de Costa Cabral in Oporto and at Escola Profissional de Música de Espinho. At the same time, he is a member of the Portuguese Symphonic Band and ARMAB, orchestras with which he performs regularly. Lately, Jorge’s work is focused on contemporary music, namely Jacob TV’s pieces for Tenor Saxophone.
