Fernanda Primo

Fernanda is a guitarist, composer and guitar teacher from the state of Pernambuco, Brazil. At the age of 13, she began her studies in classical guitar at the Pernambucano Conservatory of Music. Her musical apprenticeship had already begun from an early age via her father, a brilliant guitarist.

Continuing her studies at the Federal University of Pernambuco, Fernanda graduated at the top of her class, an award obtained at the end of her 5 year study, in the highest course of Musicology.

Between her studies and the rich musical experience in the effervescent culture of her region, Fernanda played frevo, maracatu, choro, samba, ciranda, colo, and baião, in several musical formations, from solo to orchestra.

In 2005, her desire to deepen her studies led her to France, where she joined the Conservatoire à Rayonnement Régional in Paris. There she trained in Jazz; also in classical guitar with the great master Ramón de Herrera.

In 2010, she joined Tania Chagnot's class of classical guitar at the Conservatoire à Rayonnement Départemental of Haÿ-les-Roses where she graduated in 2012 with a Diploma of Musical Studies, the DEM, won unanimously by the jury, and in chamber music, the prize unanimously with the congratulations of the jury. She continued the advanced courses in classical guitar for 2 years with Tania Chagnot.

From 2014 to 2016, Fernanda pursued another development course with Jérémy Jouve, at the Conservatoire à Rayonnement Départemental of Aulnay-sous-Bois.

Fernanda's background and musical experiences in both Brazilian traditional music and classical music have contributed to the remarkable musicality of her playing, her sense of form and rhythm, combined with a beautiful, artistic sensitivity and a pure, warm sound.

Fernanda is a musician who knows how to delicately mix different musical universes ... elegantly, spontaneously. In addition to her concert activities, where she regularly gives concerts in Europe and Brazil, Fernanda also has a passion for teaching. Currently, she gives guitar lessons in Paris and the Paris region, where she has the pleasure of transmitting her cultural, musical knowledge on the expression of oneself through the guitar.

Concurrently, she is working on her debut solo project of original compositions, which will soon be available to the public!
