English Guitar Duo

08/09 Season Tour Periods:
2009: April 14 through 26

Formed in 1987, the Rodrigo Guitar Trio is recognized as one of the United Kingdom's leading guitar ensembles, and indeed one of the leading guitar ensembles of the world. Five highly acclaimed recordings feature unique arrangements of music by composers such as Albéniz, Granados, Debussy, Ravel, Villa-Lobos, Turina, Gershwin and Bernstein. The trio's distinctive sound features the higher-pitched requinto guitar, an instrument that can extend the pitch range.

The trio has toured extensively throughout Europe and given many concerts at London's Purcell Room and Wigmore Hall. The group has also given live broadcasts on BBC radio programmes and BBC television.

"Fine players who have brought the art of guitar ensemble to a remarkable standard."
(Dundee Courier, Scotland)
