Carneiro

Pedro Carneiro is acclaimed internationally as one of the world’s foremost solo classical percussionists and equally active as a conductor and composer. Deeply committed to the musical development of his home country and fostering the work of fellow young musicians, he co-founded the Portuguese Chamber Orchestra in 2007, which he serves as artistic director and chief conductor.

Pedro’s virtuosity, passion, explosive energy and emotional spontaneity have also inspired several of today’s leading composers to write works specially for him. He has performed the world première of over 100 new works and collaborates regularly with a wide range of acclaimed musicians.
