Part 1: Fretboard Fusion
A guitar crossover project! Both students in Campbell Diamond's class founded the duo at the Anton Bruckner Private University in Linz after discussing their individual musical interests.

Jam sessions between friends developed into a collaboration that generated and developed ideas from each rehearsal. Both musicians bring their own perspective and experience to the table - both in classical pieces and in innovative arrangements of pop and jazz music for two guitars. The result is a varied and challenging program that consciously crosses musical boundaries.

The duo has already been invited to perform at the Brucknerhaus Linz and at the Stella Musikhochschule Vorarlberg as part of the "Alle Neun" cooperation project between the nine Austrian music universities and Ö1.
Instrumentation: Oliver Jungbauer guitar, Mark Leighton guitar

Part 2: Duo Giussani
Duo Giussani play works from five centuries with a passion that is immediately transferred to the audience. In their new program "From Brazil to the Baltic", the two young artists take their audience on a journey across different continents and through the most diverse musical eras.

Aural pleasure, a feast for the ears... these words do not adequately describe the sensory delights that listeners can experience at Duo Giussani's concerts... The artists offer music from another planet. The two artists celebrate a musical feast.
Instrumentation: Pauline Stephan cello, Julian Richter guitar
