The Beijing Duo will conclude their first-time San Diego Guitar Festival residency with a concert at the Schulman Auditorium in the Carlsbad Library. Composed of guitarist Meng Su and Yameng Wang, the Beijing Guitar Duo has performed throughout Europe, Asia, and North America. The Beijing Guitar Duo's performances and recordings have impressed the public with an ability and artistry that exceeds their years. Their debut CD "Maracaípe" received a Latin-Grammy nomination for the title piece, which was dedicated to them by renowned guitarist/composer Sergio Assad. Their second CD, "Bach to Tan Dun," has been widely noted for the world-premiere recording of Tan Dun's "Eight Memories in Watercolor," specially arranged for the duo by Manuel Barrueco. In addition to concertizing, the members of the duo share a love for teaching which brings them to major conservatories in the world for master classes and to judge competitions. Since 2011 they have been artists-in-residence for the San Francisco Performances. This four-year residency program brings them to the Bay Area every year for community outreach, performances, and master classes in public schools as well as for the San Francisco Conservatory. Now in its third season, the San Diego Guitar Festival promotes guitar artistry through educational opportunities and performances presented by world-class artists. Accessible to the community, the festival engages the next generation of guitarists and guitar enthusiasts in the Southern California region.
