This innovative young duo showcase the remarkable versatility and expressive power of the classical guitar, using two instruments to celebrate music new and old from France and Spain.

The Miyabi Duo is recognised for their engaging and communicative performances, showcasing the drama and versatility of the classical guitar. This concert explores the guitar's influence on France and Spain, including music by Rodrigo, and their arrangement of Debussy's sketch of an evening in Granada. Alongside this is contemporary music written for guitar duo, by composers including Errollyn Wallen (Master of the King's Music) and a new commission for the duo by Maltese composer Euchar Gravina.
