Andrey Lebedev has previously given much appreciated solo guitar recitals at Wallingford, and we are delighted to welcome him back in this duo recital. Andrey was born in Russia and grew up in Australia, before postgraduate study at the Royal Academy in London. His breadth of musical interests has led to several creative collaborations and exploration of new works, drawing attention from critics and audiences worldwide.

Iosif Purits was born in Russia, and amongst many other prizes won an international scholarship to study at the Royal Academy of Music. He was also selected as a BBC Introducing Classical artist.

Andrey and Iosif have made their own arrangements of a wide range of music for their duo, proving how effective this combination can be.
