Manuel Lindo Pleno
(1936-2006)

He was a good Man. Friend, responsible, well, he was a Father. A Father for me and for all the youth that had learned with him. Yes, because he was an excellent Teacher. A Master who infused the desire of the Musical Art in all of us. He teached us with his patience, friendship and much wisdom. He used to bring up our development, correct our errors, look for to keep us in that Home which is the Filarmónica Pampilhosense. And he did it. The great majority of the boys and girls who learned with him is remained there! We are there because we love Music, like he did in all his Life! Musician since 7 years old, the destiny didn't let him reach the 70 years old. But his work left. A work that passed throw beyond the music paper and clefs. Its true his work was the Education given to his children. Children who, beyond his two true ones, are all we, musicians who learnt with him.
Goodbye, Mr. Manuel! Your work will not be forgotten!
Goodbye, Father! When we meet again, then you will smile for us. And then you will hug us with joy. Because we will never stop playing for you! In your honor, in your memory, for your work!
Goodbye, Professor Manuel Lindo Pleno!
