Considered one of the most innovative viola players of his generation, José Valente continues to develop an intense musical activity defined by the irreverence, virtuosity and contemporaneity of his compositions and concerts. Since his return from New York, the award-winning musician has been exploring the limits of his instrument through the symbiosis of different musical styles, rarely associated with the traditional viola repertoire, establishing a unique musical language and vision. The year 2024 was marked by the release of his new and acclaimed solo album Quem é José Valente.
