Afonso Almeida

I am a passionate musician, a believer that through (smart) work and persistence, one can achieve his/hers objectives. Teaching is a big passion of mine and I want to pass onto others my enthusiasm for music and violin playing.

Music bio:
I was born in Porto, Portugal, and began studying the violin at the age of 3
through the Suzuki method. My passion for music has led me to some of the most wonderful concert halls around the world, including in Portugal, the USA, UK, Spain, Austria, Germany, Italy, Poland, Switzerland, China and Mozambique. I regularly collaborate with the Polska Filharmonia Baltycka and I have also performed with the Opera Baltycka, Orquestra Sinfónica do Porto Casa da Music, Orchestra XXI, Concertgebouworkest, London Philharmonic Orchestra Foyle Future Firsts, among other orchestras.
