ABOUT THE ARTISTS
“Australian guitarist brothers making history” (The Age), Ziggy and Miles are two of Australia’s finest young musicians forging an international career. Their performances are known for their transfixing synchronicity and subtlety, exploiting the instruments’ full range of colours and techniques. With over 50 awards between them, Ziggy and Miles proved their artistry as soloists and a duo from a young age. A selection of their major accolades includes prizes in the Guitar Foundation of America International Ensemble Artists Competition, the Adelaide International Guitar Festival International Classical Guitar Competition, and finalists in the Concert Artists Guild Competition.
Currently based in NYC, Ziggy and Miles are continuing their studies at The Juilliard School under Multiple Grammy Winner, Sharon Isbin, as Artist Diploma candidates, becoming the first Australians, second guitarists, and first guitar duo in the program’s history to be accepted. Their studies have been supported with distinguished awards from the American Australian Association and Ian Potter Cultural Trust.
