About Me

Portuguese composer, recorder and shakuhachi player. Also a conductor. César Viana's compositions are in the repertoire of Gulbenkian Ballet, Portugal National Ballet, Teatro da Trindade, Lisbon Contemporary Ballet, etc. Up there in the mp3 player you can hear excerpts from one of Viana's string quartets, 'DNP', a sephardic ballad by 'Cobras e Son', 2 movements of CV's Vivaldi and Handel CDs, a shakuhachi performance in Lisbon, and a recording of César Viana conducting the Hannover Philarmonic Orchestra with Bomtempo symphonies. Also an amazing duet with his dog and another string quartet: Alba. At the moment he plays mainly with The Fugitives, Lisbon (the art of fugue, J. S. Bach) and Cobras e Son, Salamanca (medieval music). He works at the Orquestra Metropolitana de Lisboa.
