Invited to perform at festivals in France and abroad, his repertoire ranges from Bach to present-day composers.

During his artistic career he has recorded more than thirteen CDs.

Inspired by his passion for telling stories at the piano, he has narrated and performed for dozens of young audiences, and recorded albums for La Librairie Sonore de Frémeaux & Associés.

As a researcher, he has re-discovered the music of Portuguese composers, and given recital/conferences internationally.

His efforts have been supported by several important institutions, such as the Gulbenkian Foundation, the Camões Institute, the Portuguese Ministry of Culture and Antena 2 (Portuguese radio).
