Guido Sant’Anna / Plínio Fernandes

In the organizer's words:

Brazilian duet

Violinist Guido Sant'Anna and guitarist Plínio Fernandes, two of Brazil's most exciting young musicians, come together in the Elbphilharmonie to celebrate the classical music of Latin America with pieces by Heitor Villa-Lobos, Astor Piazzolla and others. The composers are united by their admiration for European classical music and their roots in the folklore and popular dance music of their homeland. Plínio Fernandes became friends with the cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason during his studies at the Royal Academy of Music in London. With an arrangement of "Scarborough Fair", the duo gained an online audience of millions. For Plínio Fernandes, this foundation led to a recording contract with the renowned Decca label and an international concert career. His latest album is dedicated to the influences of Johann Sebastian Bach on Brazilian music.
