Composing and Performing Music for Film

Masterclass with Filipe Raposo

Filipe Raposo is a pianist, composer, and arranger. Trained in Lisbon and Stockholm, he has worked with international orchestras and performed on renowned stages such as Bozar, São Paulo, and the Gulbenkian Foundation. His work for film, theatre, and opera has earned him numerous accolades, including the Sophia Award for Best Original Song and Best Original Score at the Coimbra Film Festival for Refrigerantes e Canções de Amor, and more recently, the Best Original Score Award at the Málaga Film Festival for Lo que queda de ti.

Among his most recent recordings are The Art of Song Vol. 2: Between Sacred and Profane (2023), O Primo Basílio(2024), and Variações do Brancø Vol. 3 (2025).

At Play-Doc, he will lead a masterclass on his creative process and accompany two silent films with live piano on May 10 and 11 at the Church of Santo Domingo in Tui — a unique experience that brings together cinema, heritage and music.

This masterclass will take place at the Aula of the Tui Professional Conservatory and School of Music, on Friday, May 9, at 18:00. Free admission subject to venue capacity.
