SF Performances Presents: Beijing Guitar Duo

Presented by San Francisco Performances

Boasting a powerful, accomplished style and the ability to perform practically anything, the Beijing Guitar Duo is credited with inspiring and energizing the next generation of classical guitarists. “The Beijing Guitar Duo’s performance was a model of elegant clarity, sumptuously beautiful tone production, and emotional contrast” (San Francisco Classical Voice). Legendary guitarist Manuel Barrueco proclaimed them “the best guitar duo in the world.”

Praised by the distinguished Classical Guitar Magazine as “having the star potential to serve as inspiration for new generations of guitarists to come,” Beijing Guitar Duo made their New York debut in Carnegie Hall in 2010 and launched their international concert career.

Guitarists Meng Su and Yameng Wang, as Beijing Guitar Duo, have performed around the world in halls such as the Concertgebouw, Palau de Musica, Tchaikovsky Hall and the National Theatre in Beijing. The duo regularly collaborates with orchestras, in ensemble with flutist Marina Piccinini, guitarists Grigoryan Brothers, and with legendary guitarist Manuel Barrueco touring in Europe, Australia, Asia and the U.S.
