SoloDuo, classical guitar

The Baltimore Classical Guitar Society presents SoloDuo, featuring classical guitarists Matteo Mela and Lorenzo Micheli.

SoloDuo has performed throughout Europe, Asia, the United States, Canada and Latin America, and have been acclaimed everywhere — from New York’s Carnegie Hall to Seoul’s Sejong Chamber Hall, from Kiev’s Hall of Columns to Vienna’s Konzerthaus — as an extraordinary ensemble. About one of their performances, The Washington Post wrote, “the duo’s playing was nothing less than rapturous — profound and unforgettable musicianship of the highest order.”

In addition to classic, romantic and modern repertoire, Mela and Micheli — joined by lutenist Massimo Lonardi — have extensively explored Italian music from the 17th and 18th centuries for baroque guitar and theorbo. The have recorded works by Alessandro Scarlatti, Mauro Giuliani, Ferdinand Rebay, Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco and other composers for the Naxos, Brilliant, Contrastes, Kookaburra, Mel Bay, and Stradivarius labels.

Since 2015, they have been artists in residence at the University of Colorado Boulder.

Tickets are $30–$35 and are available through BCGS.
