The integration of the Montenegrins is so perfect you often have the feeling that just one performer is involved.

New Bach video series from the Montenegrin Guitar Duo
Montenegrin Guitar Duo have released the first two in a series of videos showcasing their transcriptions of J. S. Bach’s English Suites.
Montenegrin Guitar Duo to launch published Bach arrangements
The Montenegrin Guitar Duo looks forward to launching their newly-published transcriptions of Bach’s English Suites 1-3 with a concert at the Montenegrin Music Centre in Podgorica on Saturday 26 June.
The transcriptions, re-working the original keyboard music for two guitars, were initially produced by the Duo to feature on their 2015 disc, released on the Naxos label to great critical acclaim.
The concert on 26 June takes place at 8pm local time, with a pre-concert launch event at 7pm specially dedicated to launching these new published editions.
