Officium is the name of a new project begun on October 2000 and since then makes part of the renaissance music interpretation scenery in Portugal. It is, at present, a group that integrates professional singers in its cast, experienced in “a cappella” renaissance vocal music, standing out as an ensemble specialised in the interpretation of this kind of music, agnowledged by music critics.
Raised by the will and determination of a group of young musicians and its artistic director (Pedro Teixeira), Officium had, since its appearence, the main objective of interpreting portuguese renaissance polyphony.
The higher standards assisting its working guide line, combined with its professional singers performance, have made Officium stand out quickly in the music scenery as a qualified group in renaissance music performances.
