IGF North East Guitar Festival: Rhossili Duo

IGF's Young Artist Platform (YAP) aims to help young musicians in the critical phase between the final stages of music education and the concert platform. The programme provides much needed performance opportunities and mentoring for young guitarists starting out in their careers, as well as the opportunity to work with a composer and premiere a new work.

The Rhossili Duo (comprising Gabriella Alberti and Cai Charles) are a vibrant guitar and flute pair who explore the passionate world of dance and tango music. They have had a busy year performing as Young Ensemble Artists for the Beaumaris, Budleigh and Fishguard Music Festivals.

Other performance highlights include Welsh Parliament, Draper’s Hall in London and Cwmdu Concert Society. Alongside recitals, they work with Wye Valley Music, providing outreach performances in primary schools and dementia care homes.

As individuals, flutist Gabriella Alberti has freelanced with orchestras such as the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, Welsh National Opera and the British Philharmonic Concert Orchestra. Guitarist Cai Charles has performed internationally as part of the ‘Maestros de la Guitarra' concert series in Spain and premiered the ‘Dos Dalias’ concerto by Gerardo Tamez in St David’s Hall, Cardiff.

Programme includes work by Piazzolla, Ravel and Stephen Goss.
