Multifaceted guitarist Meng Su captivates audiences around the world with her stunning virtuosity and refined artistry. New York Concert Review called a recent performance “seemingly effortless and stunningly polished,” while Classical Guitar Magazine wrote that “she has already reached the status of a seasoned artist.” In addition to her busy solo career, Meng Su is an avid chamber musician who tours regularly in the Beijing Guitar Duo and as a soloist with many orchestras. She has performed in over 30 different countries around the world in venues including the Concertgebouw, Palau de la Música, Tchaikovsky Hall, and the National Centre for the Performing Arts in Beijing. Su’s 2016 debut solo recording, Meng, was called “this year’s finest debut by far” by Classical Guitar Magazine, and her debut CD with the Beijing Guitar Duo, Maracaípe, received a Latin Grammy nomination for the titular piece. Su has won first prize in numerous international competitions around the world, most recently in the prestigious Parkening International Guitar Competition in 2015.

Berlioz bares his soul in music, torturing himself with passion - or obsession - in his Symphonie Fantastique, one of the most famous portraits of an artist ever written and utilizing an enormous orchestra. Through tender love scenes, a thrilling march to the scaffold, and an opium-induced nightmare, Berlioz’s riveting masterpiece is unforgettable. Guitarist Menu Su guides us through Joaquín Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez, the most popular concerto ever composed for guitar and orchestra.

Praised by Classical Guitar Magazine as “having the potential to serve as inspiration for new generations of guitarists to come,” the Beijing Guitar Duo launched their international concert career with a New York debut in Carnegie Hall in 2010.  Beyond their virtuosic techniques, both artists’ approach is one that embodies pure chamber music at its finest: collaboration, organic in-the-moment response, and relinquishing the soloist’s spotlight in service to the ensemble.
