We are so excited to have Guitarist Meng Su and Yameng Wang, the Beijing Guitar Duo, at NMU! They have performed around the world in halls such as the Concertgebouw, Palau de Musica, Tchaikovsky Hall and the National Theatre in Beijing. This season will take them to a 12-city concert tour in the United States in February (Washington D.C., Cincinnati, Cleveland, Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee, Knoxville) as well as other performances in Europe and China. The duo regularly collaborates with orchestras, in ensemble with flutist Marina Piccinini, guitarists Grigoryan Brothers and with their mentor Manuel Barrueco touring in Europe, Australia, Asia and the U.S.
In addition to concertizing, the duo shares a love for teaching which brings them to major conservatories in the world for master classes and to judge competitions. The duo served as Artists-in-residence from 2011-15 for the San Francisco Performances which brought them to the Bay Area two weeks a year for community outreach, performances, and masterclasses in public schools as well as for the SF Conservatory.
Along with their Friday night concert, the Beijing Guitar Duo will hold two additional FREE events during the day in Reynolds Recital Hall, first a Music Appreciation Presentation on Friday, March 14 @ 11am & second a Masterclass on Friday, March 14 @ 1pm.
Tickets for the concert can be found at nmu.edu/tickets and are free for NMU students and youth under 18 or $12 for general admission. Read more about this distinguished group on our website nmu.edu/music/siril-concert-series or www.beijingguitarduo.com
