Hamilton de Holanda live in Lugano

Experience Hamilton de Holanda live on July 9th

Hamilton de Holanda will perform at Piazza della Riforma in Lugano, Switzerland on July 9, 2026. De Holanda is a Brazilian musician renowned for his innovative approach to *bandolim* (Brazilian mandolin) playing. His musical style blends traditional *choro* – a genre characterized by virtuosity and improvisation – with elements of jazz, classical music, and regional Brazilian rhythms like *baião*. He is known for extending the technical possibilities of the bandolim and composing pieces that showcase its versatility.

Piazza della Riforma serves as Lugano’s central square and historical heart. Its origins trace back to the medieval period, initially functioning as a marketplace. The square underwent significant redesign in the 19th century following the demolition of a church, resulting in its current neoclassical appearance with arcaded buildings and a spacious paved area. Throughout its history, Piazza della Riforma has been a focal point for civic life, hosting markets, political gatherings, and cultural events. Its acoustics and central location make it a popular venue for open-air performances during the warmer months. The piazza is surrounded by cafes and shops contributing to its vibrant atmosphere.
