The Voice of the Guitar | Contra Guitar Duo | Old Government House

  • Old Government House 2 George Street Brisbane City, QLD, 4000 Australia (map)

$30 general admission

"Nothing is more beautiful than a guitar, save perhaps two." - Frederik Chopin.

Our program is based around the sounds and colours that make the classical guitar sing. To paraphrase Chopin, no better does the guitar sing its song than in duo.

Contra Guitar Duo is the joint project of Emma-Shay Gallenti-Guilfoyle and Hamish Strathdee. United by their passion to bring audiences music they love, Hamish and Emma-Shay are excited to showcase the varied and rich expressive capabilities of the guitar duo as an ensemble.

The program will feature works by Ross Edwards, Giacomo Puccini, Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco, Clarice Assad, Alexandre Tansman and Nigel Westlake.
