Penn Guitar duo

Saturday 10th May at 7.30pm

Featuring the combined talents of established classical guitarists Brian Perkins and Joe Hughes, The Penn Guitar Duo offers the audience an enticing and captivating adventure. From the pulsating rhythms of Latin America to the sublimity of European masterpieces, the duo performs with an intensity and vigor that enraptures listeners.

The Penn Duo is, as one critic commented,

‘.... a breath of fresh air - serious and intense, but also fun and entertaining. There was something for everyone.’

Whether they are performing classical repertoire or one of their many Latin/jazz influenced items, the music is introduced with intrigue and insight, enabling the audience to feel at one with the duo.

Brian and Joe are also seasoned soloists, and their performances often include solo guitar works. From Bach to Bernstein, the solo items perfectly compliment the duets and increase the diversity of a Penn Guitar Duo performance.
