Tânia Valente

Through music, voice and communication, I create engaging cultural and educational experiences that inspire, connect and enrich people. I hold a PhD in Music and Musicology from the University of Évora and have built a multidisciplinary career combining performance, research, teaching and cultural communication. As a soprano, I perform regularly as a soloist and have been a member of the Gulbenkian Choir since 2005, participating in major concert, opera and recording projects in Portugal and abroad. Alongside my artistic activity, I am a researcher at CESEM and a radio contributor for Antena 2, where I have created and presented programmes dedicated to music, literature and cultural heritage.I am also the author of books and recordings dedicated to Portuguese vocal music and vocal pedagogy, and I have presented concerts, lectures and cultural programmes in Portugal and internationally. In addition, I hold a degree in Modern Languages and Literature (English and German Studies), bringing together expertise in music, communication, languages and public engagement.
