Andreia João Viana Lopes was born in Sintra, Portugal, on November 4th, 1978.
Andreia's soul and heart are hands tight with Portuguese Music and all "Lusofonias". Alongside the repertoire that she carefully selected to live presentations, Andreia is starting a new cycle composing original Portuguese Music, someting she never did before. With no name yet, this will become a non-traditional project based in tradicional music, with much daring too... She invites those who identify with the traditional Portuguese music, to participate in one way or another!
She completed the Social/Cultural Entertainment course, where she had her first acting experience, with the Drama professors Maria Joao Fontainhas and Joao de Mello Alvim, director of the Theater Company in Sintra. In 2002, she took vocal technique lessons with Maria do Rosario Coelho. Currently she is learning piano and voice technique with Francisco d' Orey, and is also teaching musical expression to children, since 2006.
ARCO DA LUA Ensemble
Arco da Lua is a new Portuguese music ensemble that, 15 years ago and with other elements, was known as Arco da Velha. Today, after a break of fifteen years, and because of the singular songs, the project sprang anew. Andreia is very happy with the invitation to join the group,
here again, she rediscover her roots, and sings beautifull original songs, who are also played by traditional instruments.
THEATER VOICE PERFORMER
Andreia is working with the producer David Martins, lending her voice to his musical compositions, targeted for theater performances, such as "Memorial do Convento", "Memórias de Branca Dias" and now "Vieira - O Céu na Terra", a scene at the historical monument, Carmo Convent Ruins.
A new challenge that gives her ability to voice representation and experimentalism.
"Vieira - O Céu na Terra" "Vieira - The Heaven on Earth"
Written by Miguel Real and Filomena Oliveira (author recently covered with the Grand Prix Theatre SPA / Open Theatre), the piece celebrates a man who was distributed by many activities - was missionary, diplomat, politician, speaker, prophet, writer, nationalist - And, above all, understand the meaning of the word "tolerance". Their travel as a diplomat, the persecutions of the Inquisition, the fight for the disadvantaged and defense, for Portugal, the advent of the Fifth Empire, are portrayed in the piece, whose action ends in 1656, the date of death of the guard of Vieira, D. João IV.

The United Nations has designated today (June 8) as World Oceans Day. And countries around the world are following suit by holding events to acknowledge the importance of the world's oceans.
To honor the ocean, I've made a commitment to give up plastic bags. Plastic bags not only kill our animals, like whales, dolphins, seals, sea turtles, sea birds that consume them or are trapped in them, it also kills fish and animals in our food chain.
Can you make a commitment to do something to honor this day, no matter how small? The health of our planet depends on it!
