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.
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
Following recent debuts at the BBC Proms and Lucerne Festival, the 2024/25 season sees Plínio perform solo recitals at St Martin in the Fields and Temple Music Church, as well as making debuts at Canterbury Festival and Newbury Spring Festival. He will also debut with the BBC Concert Orchestra, performing Rodrigo’s ‘Concierto de Aranjuez’, and Britten Sinfonia later this season.
A powerful ensemble player and collaborator, Plínio performers regularly with a number of musicians, including Lang Lang and brothers Braimah and Sheku Kanneh-Mason. Last season saw Sheku and Plinio give a five-date recital tour of the UK which included a sold-out performance at Wigmore Hall.
Having performed in sold-out concert halls around the world, including renowned venues such as the Royal Albert Hall, and Radio City Music Hall in New York, Plínio has also conducted solo recitals and masterclasses in various locations, including Hong Kong, Portugal (for the MIMO festival in Porto) and throughout South America.
Plínio was named on Forbes Brazil’s Under 30 list, a Rising Star by Classic FM, and recently received the Revelação Award at the 30th Annual Prêmio da Música Brasileira. A passionate advocate for music education, Plínio was invited to join London Music Masters as an ambassador, and is involved with performing, teaching and guiding young musicians in schools.
