Nuno Soares was born in 1994, in Chaves, but grew up in Vila Praia de Âncora, in the Viana do Castelo region, where he would start his musical studies at the age of 12, at the Escola Profissional de Música de Viana do Castelo. In 2006 he would be part of Sergey Arutyunyan’s violin class, but in 2008 he would change his path and become a violist, under the tutelage of Rafael Cutiño.

Between 2012 and 2015 he would do his bachelor’s degree at the Academia Nacional Superior de Orquestra da Metropolitana with Paul Wakabayashi, and in 2018 he attended an open course with Samuel Barsegian at Escola Superior de Música de Lisboa. During these years, he would consolidate his career as an orchestral musician both in Portugal and abroad, collaborating with the Orquestra Metropolitana de Lisboa, the Orquestra Gulbenkian, the Orquesta Filharmónica Ciudad de Pontevedra, the North West Opera, among others. In 2022 he won the position of Viola tutti in Orquestra do Algarve and in 2023 he won the audition for the place he currently occupies, as a Viola tutti in Orquestra Gulbenkian.
