 distinguished 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 in Carnegie Hall in 2010 and 
 launched their international concert career.\n\nGuitarists Meng Su and 
 Yameng Wang\, the Beijing Guitar Duo has 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 on a 12-city 
 concert tour in the United States beginning 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.\n\nThe Beijing Guitar Duo's 
 performances and recordings have impressed the public with “an ability 
 and artistry that exceeds their years.” Their debut CD\, Maracaípe\, 
 received a Latin-GRAMMY nomination for the titled piece\, which was 
 dedicated to them by renowned guitarist/composer Sergio Assad. Their second 
 CD\, Bach to Tan Dun\, has been widely noted for the world-premiere 
 recording of Tan Dun’s Eight Memories in Watercolor\, specially arranged 
 for the duo by Manuel Barrueco. A recording in trio\, China West\, with 
 Maestro Barrueco was released in May 2014. \n\nMeng Su and Yameng Wang were 
 born in the coastal city of Qingdao\, China. They came to the partnership 
 with exceptional credentials\, including a string of competition awards. 
 Ms. Su’s honors include victories at the Vienna Youth Guitar Competition 
 and the Christopher Parkening Guitarist Competition\, while Ms. Wang was 
 the youngest guitarist to win the Tokyo International Guitar Competition at 
 the age of 12\, and was invited by Radio France to perform at the 
 prestigious Paris International Guitar Art Week at age 14. Both young 
 artists had given solo recitals in China and abroad and had made recordings 
 before they formed the duo.\n\nIn 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.\n\n\n\n
