Pedro Camacho

Pedro Macedo Camacho is a Portuguese composer of classical music as well as film and video game scores.

Camacho was born in Funchal, a city in Madeira, and started learning composition with Argentinean composer Roberto Pérez in his home city's Conservatoire and Arts School.

Camacho claims that composing has been an important part of his life since he was ten years old, when he started composing short musical pieces using the vintage tracker program OctaMED on an Amiga 500.

Camacho's career in concert music began in 2011, when he was commissioned to write the Requiem to Inês de Castro by Orquestra Clássica do Centro [pt] which premiered in March 2012.
