Beijing Guitar Duo

Praised by Classical Guitar Magazine as “having the star potential to serve as inspiration for new generations of guitarists,” the Beijing Guitar Duo made their New York debut at Carnegie Hall in 2010, marking the start of their international concert career. Comprised of guitarists Meng Su and Yameng Wang, the duo has since performed in world-renowned venues, including the Concertgebouw, Palau de Musica, Tchaikovsky Hall, and the National Theatre in Beijing.

This season, they embark on a 12-city U.S. tour, performing in cities such as Washington D.C., Chicago, and Milwaukee, along with additional concerts in Europe and China. Known for their versatility, the duo frequently collaborates with orchestras, flutist Marina Piccinini, the Grigoryan Brothers, and their mentor, Manuel Barrueco, on tours across Europe, Asia, Australia, and the U.S.

The Beijing Guitar Duo's debut album, Maracaípe, earned a Latin GRAMMY® nomination for the title piece by Sergio Assad. Their second release, Bach to Tan Dun, includes the world premiere recording of Tan Dun’s "Eight Memories in Watercolor," arranged by Barrueco. They also collaborated with Barrueco on the trio album China West, released in 2014.

Born in Qingdao, China, both Meng Su and Yameng Wang boast impressive credentials, with awards from competitions like the Tokyo International Guitar Competition and the Parkening Guitar Competition. Beyond performing, the duo is passionate about teaching, giving masterclasses worldwide, and judging competitions. From 2011 to 2015, they served as Artists-in-Residence for San Francisco Performances, where they led community outreach, performances, and masterclasses.
