Britain's What's On Event Guide
Classical guitar concert by Miyabi Duo
West Sussex Guitar Club is delighted to host Miyabi Duo. Drawing on a large range of musical influences, the Miyabi Duo is a versatile classical guitar ensemble comprising Saki Kato (Japan) and Hugh Millington (UK). Together they perform a variety of music for two guitars, ranging from new compositions written for the duo, to music on nineteenth-century period guitars.
The Duo works extensively in community music-making settings in Suffolk and beyond, and particularly love breaking down barriers between performers and audience to connect with people through music. This passion includes taking music to prisons, through the Britten Pears Arts’ work with the Criminal Justice System.
In 2020 the Duo was awarded the Wigmore Hall Learning/Open Academy Ensemble Fellowship, which led them to work with families and children of all ages in a series of concerts called ‘Pick Strum and Slide’ at the Wigmore Hall.
Miyabi means a traditional Japanese aesthetic ideal that translates to elegance or courtly grace so please do come and join us to hear this exciting duo. Their programme will include Rodrigo, Debussy, Bowers and Wallen amongst others.
