Concerts of the Year

01 - TOP PLATINA - Príncipe
Príncipe @ Passos Manuel © Guilherme Lucas

These are Guilherme Lucas’s concerts of 2019.

“2019 was a year of few concerts, I attended 42 in total. As always, in some of them I found good and interesting things for future reference. Some are (re) confirmed repetitions and others absolute premieres for my attention radar. My tops do not follow any particular criteria, therefore those that deserve a prominent place in my appreciation exhaust themselves in rank order.”
