Born and raised in São Paulo, Plínio Fernandes fuses the tradition of classical guitar with Brazilian folk music.

For this intimate recital in the beautiful surroundings of Highclere Castle he will combine works by Villa-Lobos and Bach alongside some other lesser-known Brazilian composers. 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. He is also an exclusive Decca Gold recording artist.
