Plínio Fernandes

Plínio Fernandes fuses two worlds together when he performs: his cultural heritage of Brazil, where his musical roots stem from, and his added western classical music experience, as he has studied and finessed his craft in Europe. Recently signed to Decca Gold, the 29-year-old’s debut album Saudade was released worldwide in late 2022 to critical acclaim and debuted at #1 on Billboard Traditional Classical Albums Chart.

In 2023, Fernandes won the Revelação award at the 30th annual Prêmio da Música Brasileira (Brazilian Music Awards). 2022 also saw the young guitarist racking up a diverse suite of awards including Forbes Brasil’s annual Under 30 list, Classic FM’s Rising Stars list, and Revista Concerto’s Young Artist Award. Actively touring, Fernandes has performed in sold-out concert halls across the world–including the Royal Albert Hall and Radio City Music Hall–and has given solo recitals as well as masterclasses in Hong Kong, Portugal, and throughout South America.
