PAST EXHIBITION

Katona Twins

October 14, 2008—October 14, 2008

One of the classical world’s best-known guitar duos, Peter and Zoltán made their Carnegie Hall debut in 1998. The award-winning Hungarian-born twins studied at the Bela Bartok Conservatory in Budapest, the Academy of Music in Kassel, and at the Royal Academy of Music in London. 

They have won numerous prizes, both individually and together.  In 2004 they were awarded, with  the prestigious Borletti-Buitoni prize, the first guitarist in the trust's history.  In 1998 they won the Concert Artists Guild Competition held in New York thereby securing management throughout the USA. 

The wide repertoire of the duo spans from Scarlatti to Piazzolla’s tango music. Their programs also include concertos for two guitars and orchestra by Rodrigo, Vivaldi, Piazzolla and Tedesco. Michael Berkeley, Judith Bingham, Carlos Sanchez-Gutierrez and several other contemporary composers have written for and dedicated works to the Katona Twins.
