◼️ Sofia Borges (percussion / Portugal)
Sofia Borges is a percussionist, composer, and improviser whose work spans contemporary, improvised, electroacoustic, and interdisciplinary performance.

Borges has appeared at major international festivals and venues worldwide, performing both solo and in collaboration with leading figures in new music, improvisation, and avant-garde jazz. Her double album Trips & Findings documents the breadth of her electroacoustic practice, and her recent duo release The Unseen Pact with saxophonist Ada Rave is a further example of her sustained collaborative work.
