GUITAR PERSPECTIVES
The program of Latin American music is complimented by a triptych homage to Brazilian music by Melbourne composer and Conservatorium Associate Professor In Music (Guitar) Ken Murray, as well as a moving intergenerational memorial A Drunken Fingerprint Across the Sky, by the young Victorian Ade Vincent.
In 2020, long-time colleagues Ben Dix and Dan McKay joined forces as Australia’s newest guitar duo for their first recitals for the Melbourne Guitar Festival’s Recital Series. Making their debut in livestream recitals, the pair are best known for their work within the Melbourne Guitar Quartet, with whom they somehow managed to release the CD ‘Blood Oath’ during the ravages of a brutal Melbourne lockdown.
Ben and Dan are thrilled to bring an exciting program of works for guitar duo from Europe to Australia, from the baroque to modern periods.
