Multicultural composer and innovator of the Portuguese guitar, classical guitar, and other plucked string instruments.
GRAMMY® and LATIN GRAMMY® voting member.
I’m a composer with a multicultural and multi-stylistic approach to music, equally comfortable writing for symphonic orchestras, for film, for a Middle Eastern ensemble, or for my rock band Tritone King.
Throughout my younger years, my family moved to a dozen countries on five continents, which gave me the comfort and ability to write authentically in a wide variety of styles.
As a film composer, the films I’ve scored have recently received awards at the Cannes Film Festival, Sundance, South by Southwest, and at the Venice Biennale.

We are incredibly excited to be in this year’s LATIN GRAMMYS® 1st round ballot with our album: “Transclassical Concertos.”
We recorded it with the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields at Abbey Road Studios, conducted by Royal Shakespeare Company music director Bruce O’Neil.
The album features two concertos by Lucía Caruso and Pedro H. da Silva, their joint composition “Folía,” and Pedro’s arrangement of “Here Comes the Sun.”
The album’s engineers are the best in the business, with multiple GRAMMY® awards between them: Stephen McLaughlin (co-producer), Alan Silverman (mastering), Paul Geluso (mixing), and Pedro (producer and editing).
As new GRAMMY® and LATIN GRAMMY® voting members, Lucía and Pedro are excited to be a part of this process and advocate for lesser-known but vital musical voices.
We are very grateful for your consideration,
Lucía and Pedro
New album: Echoes of nature: Live From shakespeare’s church
Echoes of Nature features two world premiere symphonic song cycles composed by Lucía Caruso and Pedro H. da Silva — Nine Shakespeare Songs and Echoes of Nature (poetry by Ahae). Recorded live at Shakespeare’s church in Stratford-upon-Avon, the music draws on classical techniques, improvisation, and elements from various cultures and eras. Echoes from the Renaissance, Baroque, Romantic opera, and Impressionism pervade the two song cycles, as well as new sonorities, and the magical combination of celesta and Portuguese guitar with choir and orchestra.
The album features the great French soprano Laetitia Grimaldi and the composers Lucía Caruso on piano and celesta, and Pedro H. da Silva on Portuguese guitar, joined by the Royal Shakespeare Company music director Bruce O’Neil conducting the Orchestra & Choir of the Swan.
