Duo46 - AbsoluteAstronomy.com

The American ensemble Duo46 was established in 1994 in Tucson, Arizona by guitarist Matt Gould and violinist Beth Ilana Schneider. Since then, they have emerged through their commissioning, performing around the world, recording and teaching as a leading advocate of 20th- and 21st-century chamber music with guitar (duets, trios and double concertos). Their repertoire of over 500 original works includes over 100 works either commissioned by them or dedicated to them. They also perform with Friends in trios including with mandolin (Avi Avital,Israel), cello (Erich Oscar Huetter,Austria) and piano (Nathanael May,USA). Formerly on the faculty of Eastern Mediterranean University in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, Paradise Valley Community College and Arizona State University, they are now based in Sudbury, Ontario CANADA at Cambrian College.
