Born and raised in São Paulo, Plínio Fernandes fuses the tradition of classical guitar with Brazilian folk music. An exclusive Decca Gold recording artist, Plínio released his debut album “Saudade” in 2022, which hit Number One on the Billboard Traditional Classical Albums Chart. His second album, “Bacheando”, released in September 2023, explores Bach’s influence on Brazilian music and contrasts to his recently released EP, “Cinema”, which dives into five iconic movie soundtracks.

An Evening with Nicola Benedetti

Settle in as violinist Nicola Benedetti and guitarist Plínio Fernandes come together to perform a recital at Davies Symphony Hall.

Davies Symphony Hall

Rossini’s bright and sunny overture preludes one of the most famous and popular of all concertos, suffused with the sun-drenched melodies and balmy atmosphere of southern Spain; its achingly beautiful slow movement is perhaps the most sublime pieces of music ever written. The Spanish passion continues with Chabrier’s dazzling rhapsody and Rimsky-Korsakov’s vibrant and colourful suite. In contrast, Borodin’s tone poem evokes the sweeping plains of central Asia, whilst nightmarish visions abound in Mussorgsky’s dark and brooding depiction of a Witches Sabbath.
