Regularly acclaimed by the international specialized press, Rebeca Oliveira is a Portuguese classical guitarist. As Bradford Werner stated:

“I really appreciate her solid performances filled with great technique, rhythmic drive and refined musicality. Her phrasing is so nicely balanced and well delivered.”

In December 2021, Rebeca Oliveira released Carlos Seixas – Sonatas, an album featuring her own transcriptions of sonatas by the Portuguese Baroque composer Carlos Seixas. This album is the result of her long-standing interest in Seixas’s music, which led her in 2017 to start the cycle Carlos Seixas for Guitar, a series of transcriptions of the composer’s sonatas for classical guitar. In this context, she released the scores of her transcriptions with the Canadian publishing house Les Productions d’Oz. In October 2020, Rebeca released her first album, Home, a tribute to her native Madeira Island.

Rebeca began her musical studies at the age of fifteen at the Conservatory – Professional School of Arts of Madeira, with Pedro Zamora. In July 2017, she completed her classical guitar studies with honours at the Superior Conservatory of Music in Vigo, Galicia, in the class of Margarita Escarpa. In the same year, she began her Master’s degree in performance, specializing in chamber music, at the Hochschule für Musik Franz Liszt Weimar in Germany, with Professor Thomas Müller-Pering, finishing her studies with the highest distinction. She was also a member of the Weimar Guitar Quartet until 2025. In 2024, she began a second Master’s degree in Music Pedagogy at the Universidade do Minho, Portugal.

She has won numerous awards in national and international competitions, as well as scholarships and artistic creation grants. Highlights include the Eurostrings scholarship to the Tallinn Guitar Festival and scholarships from DAAD, the Hochschule für Musik Franz Liszt Weimar, the Charlotte-Krupp – Neue Liszt Stiftung, and the Kulturstiftung des Freistaats Thüringen.

Rebeca has performed regularly as a soloist and in various chamber music formations across Europe. Until 2025 she was based in Germany, where she developed important pedagogical work in guitar teaching and ensemble direction. She is currently based in Madeira, Portugal, where she continues her artistic and pedagogical activities.

She plays a guitar by German luthier Dieter Müller, uses Guitarlift, and is an Augustine Strings artist.
