Gregório Calleres (Rio de Janeiro, April 10th,1982) is a Brazilian composer of chamber and concert music who currently lives in São Paulo. His music is marked by the influence of composers such as Schumann, Beethoven, Bartok, Ligeti and Stockhausen.

 

His interest in the arts began during his childhood while he listened to Radio MEC in Rio de Janeiro and to his parents' records. He started studing piano early on, by his own initiative. He began his studies with Professor Carmen Klingmann. At the age of 12, he wrote his first composition (Someone who left), which is currently part of the album Portraits.

 

His work is almost entirely dedicated to the piano. From 2012 onwards, he began to explore atonal, serial and electroacoustic music, resulting in several albums for atonal music such as Aphorisms, Miniatures, Fragments and albums for electroacoustic music such as Soyuz, Genesis, Metamorphoses and Resonantem, this last album aiming to join primitive sounds.

His music is marked by three phases. Between 1994 and 2005 was his most formal and tonal phase. The period from 2006 to 2014 is marked by a greater lyricism in his compositions and for the use of other instruments. From 2015 onwards, his compositions were marked by atonalism.

 

He composed his first orchestral piece in 2001, at the age of 19, and the first electroacoustic experience was in 2011. Currently, he dedicates himself exclusively to to composition, experimenting in free and serious forms.
