Part of the Segovia Classical Guitar Series
"I'd put my reputation on the line and say that this is the best guitar duo in the world."
—Manuel Barrueco, legendary guitarist
Meng Su and Yameng Wang, guitar
Praised by Classical Guitar Magazine as “having the star potential to serve as inspiration for new generations of guitarists to come,” the Beijing Guitar Duo made their New York debut at Carnegie Hall in 2010, launching their international concert career. Since then, they have performed at venues including Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw, Barcelona’s Palau de la Música, Moscow’s Tchaikovsky Hall, and Beijing’s National Theatre. The duo regularly collaborates with artists including flutist Marina Piccinini, guitarists the Grigoryan Brothers, and their mentor Manuel Barrueco. Their debut album received a Latin Grammy nomination for the titular piece, which was dedicated to them by renowned guitarist/composer Sérgio Assad. Born in the coastal city of Qingdao, China, Su and Wang came to the partnership with exceptional credentials, including a string of competition awards and previous recordings. Su won the Vienna Youth Guitar and Christopher Parkening Guitarist Competitions, while Wang was the youngest guitarist to win the Tokyo International Guitar Competition at the age of 12. In addition to concertizing, the duo shares a love for teaching which brings them to major conservatories, master classes, and competitions around the world.
