Fantasias and Fandangos by Candlelight with Plínio Fernandes

Classic FM Rising star Plinio Fernandes invites you into a world where the guitar’s voice echoes across centuries and continents.

Beneath the warm glow of candlelight in Smith Square Hall, Brazilian-born Plinio Fernandes showcases the guitar’s chameleon-like personality, shifting effortlessly from the delicate introspection of John Dowland’s Fantasias to the fiery, colourful rhythms of South America with the music of Heitor Villa-Lobos and Leo Brouwer.

Renowned for his soulful tone, virtuosity, and charismatic stage presence, Fernandes brings a fresh and expressive voice to the classical guitar, leaving every note in this intimate late-night hour-long programme resonating with history, passion and artistry.
