Gonçalo Rodrigues (b. 1991) started his composition studies in Évora, Portugal but now has been studying and living in Malmö, Sweden. His studies in Portugal with names such as Christopher Bochmann and Hugo Ribeiro had a huge influence in his music, especially on his serialist mechanisms. But currently studying with Bent Sørensen and Staffan Storm, his music revealed its true form showcasing his passion for huge hypnotizing textures as well as counterpoint melodies. 
Although much of his catalogue comprises solo and chamber works, now he has started to take steps into the orchestral world with pieces such as Butterflies, and Le fardeau de Fernando. 
He claimed one important composing award in Portugal named Folefest in 2021.
 
The musical narrative he has expanded himself into can be characterized as a combination of a more serialist approach together with a passion for organic textures and brutal contrasts.
