March Coffee House: The Australian Guitar Duo

Hailed as “top-flight musicians” by the Australian Village Voice, The Australian Guitar Duo is becoming recognized as one of the most dynamic and exciting guitar ensembles to emerge from Australia. The duo has performed throughout the world, including at the New York Guitar Duo Festival in New York City, Project Cancion Española in Spain, Festival de Musique Classique in France, Meadowlark Music Festival in Nebraska, and numerous major cities throughout their native Australia.

Performing a mixture of contemporary Australian compositions and standard works from the guitar duo repertoire, The Australian Guitar Duo consists of Rupert Boyd and Jacob Cordover, both respected soloists in their own right. They met and formed as a duo in the year 2000 while undertaking studies at the Australian National University School of Music, where they studied with renowned Australian guitarist Timothy Kain.

The Australian Guitar Duo has been broadcast on radio stations throughout Australia and the United States and was a prize winner of the chamber music division of the Australian Guitar Competition. Mr. Boyd and Mr. Cordover both play hand-made Australian guitars, and are planning a forthcoming recording of contemporary Australian repertoire.

Doors open at 7:30 and the concert begins at 8:00pm and will feature works by Scarlatti, Granados, Lennon/McCartney, and Australian composers.

Admission is free and refreshments will be served. For more information contact Rev. Vicki Flippin at 203-869-2395.
