Vickers Bovey Guitar Duo

Twickenham Guitar Society presents this recital by Vickers Bovey Guitar Duo  -  described as performers ‘with truly uncanny unanimity’ (Ivan Hewett, Daily Telegraph) and ‘with astounding exquisiteness’ (Paul Driver, Sunday Times).  

Julian and Dan first met studying at Birmingham Conservatoire where they both received First Class Honours and the Principal’s Prize, continuing their studies with a joint Masters at the Royal Academy of Music, London, graduating with Distinction and the Performance Diploma in July 2016.

Winners of multiple awards, the duo have been selected for the Worshipful Company of Musicians’ Maisie Lewis Prize. In 2016 they won the Royal Academy of Music’s Club Prize, the most prestigious competition at the Academy and are prize winners at the 2017 Guitar Foundation of America’s International Ensemble Competition in Los Angeles and the 2018 International Festival de Guitarra Braga Ensemble Competition in Portugal.

The duo have been featured on BBC Radio 3  and are past recipients of the IGF Young Artist Platform, the Countess of Munster and Help Musicians UK Awards and have performed extensively internationally and around the UK

United by a love of new and contemporary music, the duo have commissioned and premiered numerous works. They have a long term collaboration with Ryan Probert, whose transfixing large scale works Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji, Eight Views of the Four Seasons and The Fields Where Silence Has Lease (BBC commission) have been performed over thirty times, in concert halls, libraries, factories and schools. The complete set of Ryan’s Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji formed the duo’s debut CD, released in April 2016.
