All available through the artists website:
As
a duo they have worked with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra, the
Queensland Symphony Orchestra, The Academy of Melbourne and performed
at the Melbourne International Festival of the Arts and The Brisbane
Festival.
Although
having performed much of the standard repertoire for two guitars, their
passion is to expand the classical guitar repertoire through new
arrangements, commissions and collaborations with contemporary
composers as well their own compositions.
Coming from an eclectic musical background, improvisation has always been an important part of their musical language. This combination of influences sets their performances apart from other classical ensembles attracting a very diverse audience.
