Duo Musica Guitar & Violin - Spanish Guitar and Violin Duo
This guitar and violin duo is available for concerts and functions in the London area and beyond, and was formed by two spanish players who met at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama while studying a Master’s degree in Performance-Advanced Instrumental Studies. Since then they have been working together, focusing her repertoire on composers that have been influenced by popular music, but also working in other fields, as classical repertoire and improvisation.
Having been working as professionals separately during the last few years, and after one year studying Chamber Music with different teachers from GSMD, they are now developing their professional performance career as a chamber music duo.
This duo is an original well-balanced string duo, with a repertoire focused in composers that were influenced by traditional music, like Manuel de Falla, or Heitor Villa-lobos. Their aim is to contribute a novelty to the London musical landscape, offering interesting proposals and extending as much as possible the possibilities of this ensemble.
