IGF’s Young Artists Platform (YAP) helps young artists in the critical phase between the final stages of music education and the start of a professional career. The Platform provides much needed concert opportunities as well as a comprehensive training programme. A unique feature is the chance to work with a composer and premiere a new work commissioned especially by IGF.
Gonçalo Maia Caetano is a classical guitarist from Pinhel, Portugal, currently finishing his Master of Arts degree at the Royal Academy of Music with professor Michael Lewin.
Gonçalo has won over 10 international competitions, the most important prize being The Prince’s Prize, from The Musician’s Company. Other important awards include scholarships for his studies from The Countess of Munster Musical Trust, The Craxton Memorial Trust, Help Musicians, The Musicians’ Company and the Royal Academy of Music.
Showing his versatility, in 2020 Gonçalo joined the Phemo Quartet as a Bass player and they have performed in well known venues such as the Vortex Jazz Club and Kings Place. Later this year, the quartet will release their first album Anti-Revelation.
