Biography

Andreia Pinto-Correia was born in 23 August 1971 in Lisbon. [1] She is the daughter of literature professors, [2] with her father João David Pinto Correia being one of her creative collaborators. [3] Raised in her birthplace, [4] she was influenced by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, whose stories her mother did Portuguese-language translations of, as well as the medieval literature her father would read before bedtime. [2]

Pinto-Correia was educated at the Amateur Music Academy  [ pt ], the Jazz School of the Hot Club of Portugal, and the University of Lisbon, all in her native Lisbon. [4] She later studied at the New England Conservatory of Music, where she studied under Bob Brookmeyer and Michael Gandolfi and obtained her Master of Music and Doctor of Music degrees. [5] She has worked as composer-in-residence for OrchestrUtópica and the Bowdoin International Music Festival, as well as curator for the latter and the Institute for Advanced Study's Fertile Crescent concert. [4] She has also served as visiting professor at the Jacobs School of Music, as well as an honorary fellow at the Australian National University. [4]

In 2011, Pinto-Correia's piece "Elegia a Al-Mu'tamid" was performed at SONiC: Sounds of a New Century; Anthony Tommasini of The New York Times said it was "like an aural fabric of piercing sustained harmonies, restless melodic bits and gurgling instrumental bursts" and a "dark, intense melody for viola". [6] She performed at the 2012 Minnesota Orchestra Composer Institute; Rob Hubbard of the St. Paul Pioneer Press said that her "evocative soundscapes [...] certainly have a future there". [7] Joshua Kosman criticized her symphonic poem "Alfama" at its 2013 premiere at the Berkeley Symphony, saying that its layered nature "is so gray and unattractive - densely dissonant without pointing in any clear harmonic direction - that the effect is muted". [8]

In 2015, Pinto-Correia was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in music composition. [5] In 2020, she was awarded an American Academy of Arts and Letters Arts and Letters Award in Music. [9] In March 2022, her piece "Os Pássaros da Noite" premiered at the Lincoln Center, performed by the New York Philharmonic and conducted by Gustavo Dudamel; Joshua Barone of The New York Times praised the piece's "buoyant, dancing mood" and gloom-free tone. [10] [11]

Pinto-Correia lives in Brooklyn. [12]
