Ad Lucem - Grupo de Fado da Academia de Lisboa

Ever since I enrolled in Instituto Superior Técnico I had always been fascinated by the tradition of the Academy and its students. I was even more lucky to be able to be a part of the foundation of Ad Lucem, from an already existing project, that didn't yet have a name. It has been quite a pleasure to be able to honour our history not only at Técnico but also the history of the portuguese students in general.

To pay homage to those who fought for our rights or even just sang songs for the pleasure it brings in itself, we perform some originals but also songs by the famous and acclamated Luís Goes, Zeca Afonso or even Amália Rodrigues and many more.

Sports and Martial Arts

I have always been fond of sports. Through the course of my life I've done competitive swimming, federated baskball, hockey and, most recently, Krav Maga from FPKM, FEKM.

Arts and Culture

The most cliché thing to mention is that I love music, movies and museums. I have a particular fondness of the Louvre seen that I had the chance to spend quite some time visiting it. I have also been a part of some theatre productions in school mostly. I also enjoy to get lost in a good book from now and then.
