The Beijing Guitar Duo, Meng Su and Yameng Wang, first met at the Central Conservatory in Beijing, where they both studied with the acclaimed professor Chen Zhi. The duo was formally established at the encouragement of Manuel Barrueco, their teacher and mentor, while pursuing their advanced studies at the Peabody Conservatory. The impressive individual talents of Ms. Su and Ms. Wang come together to create what is sure to be one of the most exciting guitar duos on the scene today. As recipients of the Solomon H. Snyder Award, the Beijing Guitar Duo made its New York debut at Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall with critical acclaim. Thanks to San Francisco Performances for bringing Beijing Guitar Duo to CMC’s stage for this free community concert!
