“Guitarology”

The Portland Guitar Duo presents “Guitarology”, a program showcasing the versatility and diversity of guitar duo music. A variety of instruments from the guitar family, such as a lute guitar, original “romantic” guitars from the 1800s, 10-string guitar and modern classicals will be used in a program rich in the history of the guitar duo repertoire. From the Renaissance, Baroque and  Romantic periods, all the way to the 20^thcentury, this musical journey  will feature some classic duet favorites along with  some uniquely presented transcriptions and rarely heard compositions. During the concert the duo will discuss the historical evolution of the guitar, the history of the guitar duo medium and their instrument collection.  This is a concert exceptional in subject, theme and content, and an exclusive opportunity for a comprehensive look at the guitar family.
