Event description

Hailed by Gramophone as “beguiling… fascinating… enchanting,” Boyd Meets Girl features Australian classical guitarist Rupert Boyd and American cellist Laura Metcalf. The duo has captivated audiences worldwide with their dynamic mix of music, seamlessly moving from the elegance of Debussy and Bach to contemporary influences like Radiohead and Beyoncé. Their two critically acclaimed studio albums have collectively surpassed 5 million streams on Spotify.

The duo arranges much of their repertoire themselves, drawing inspiration from artists across all genres, and speak from the stage about the works to create an engaging, conversational concert experience that breaks down boundaries not only between musical genres but between audience and performer.

This program ranges from invigorating South American rhythms, to the artistry and interweaving lines of J.S. Bach, to a sublime work by American superstar composer Caroline Shaw, and even a couple of Beatles’ tunes - something for everyone!
