In June 2025 Miguel was named joint-winner of the Grand Prix at the International Conducting Competition Rotterdam. The jury also awarded Miguel the Opera and Contemporary prizes, while the players of the Rotterdam Philharmonic and Orchestra of the 18th Century voted him their preferred candidate in the Symphonic and Classical rounds. He was previously a semi-finalist in the 2024 Malko Conducting Competition.

Born in Lisbon in 1998, Miguel studied under Jean Marc Burfin and finished his Masters at the RNCM. He has since conducted the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, Manchester Camerata, Münchener Kammerorchester and Orquestra Sinfónica Portuguesa. In September 2024 he was appointed the Dresdner Philharmonie's inaugural Runnicles Fellow and in March 2025 he was named an LA Phil Dudamel Fellow.
