about this event
A longer name but it's still your favourite virtuoso acoustic guitarists giving you a feel-good evening with the same dynamic energy, range of emotions and unique sound. Cranleigh Arts is close to their hearts so Will and Ben really look forward to playing you more tunes from their huge repertoire of rock, pop and classical all blended with flamenco as well as some of their previous and brand new compositions for 2025 one of which will surprise and bewitch you.
You'll travel from Spain to the Camargue, Cuba, Mexico, Hollywood and into South America as the tunes come thick and fast. They are famous for being able to switch 180 degrees in an instant to keep your ears and brain guessing. It's not only about their amazing speed, technique and rhythm, it's about the variety of their playing which draws people back again and again. The cherry on the cake this year will be 5 minutes of Vivaldi with their two guitars replacing a whole chamber orchestra and yet you will feel that nothing is missing in a piece that you know so well ! It took Ben months to create the arrangement and it's one of the trickiest pieces they've learned in the 14 years since they met at The Royal Academy of Music and embarked on their professional careers.
Although their Concerts are timetabled to last 2 hours, they often overrun these days, with audiences wanting more, so please bear that in mind if you're booking a taxi pick-up.
DUO DESTINO....... nobody ever forgets the thrill and shock of seeing them play live for the first time.
