Biografia: Paulo Costa Lima (b. 1954, Salvador, Bahia) belongs to the so-called second generation of Grupo de Compositores da Bahia (Group of Composers of Bahia) that was formed in 1966 with the basic assertion that it was “mainly against all and every asserted principle”. After his early training at the School of Music of the Federal University of Bahia (1969-1976), he studied at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign under Herbert Brün and Ben Johnston. Since 1979 he has been teaching composition and music analysis at the Federal University of Bahia where he held several positions such as Director of The School of Music (1988-1992) and Assistant President of the University (1996-2002). He also held the position of Secretary of Culture of the City of Salvador (2005-2008) and is currently a member of the Conselho de Cultura do Estado da Bahia (Culture Council of the State of Bahia) and the Academia de Letras da Bahia. His works have received more than 300 performances in several music centers in Brasil and 15 other countries, including performances at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Sala Rode Pompe, Sala São Paulo e Cecília Meirelles. His main research interests are the pedagogy of composition, music and psychoanalysis and culture. He has been publishing widely in these fields both in Brazil and abroad (SONUS, Latin American Music Review, JPCS).
