About Agostinho Sequeira at the 50th TROMP International Percussion Competition 2020:

‘There is a sense of magic in his performance, and absolute commitment.’ – From the Jury Report

‘In Igor C. Silva’s Your Trash!, Agostinho managed to combine humour with virtuosity and an infectious groove. He performed Judd Greenstein’s Move Like This magisterially. The composer had left it up to the finalists which set-up they would put together to perform the piece. Sequeira’s woodblocks, gongs, toms, and vibraphone brought clarity to the piece, and the phrases with glockenspiel gave lightness to Asko|Schönberg’s performance of the composition.’ – Slagwerkkrant
