"There is an interplay between the musicians that goes beyond their different approaches. It's like a wonderful conversation, with two persons speaking in different languages but still easily understanding each other."

Mandolin and Guitar - Duo LaRè
www.garypaynephoto.comMandolin & guitar is a wonderful combination. Both have plucked strings but the different sonorities blend beautifully together. It is perfect for concert halls, restaurants and churches. Mandolin & guitar is a great choice for both background music and concert recitals.

The repertoire ranges from baroque era to contemporary music. The duo draws their repertoire from a variety of sources and include music by Vivaldi, Scarlatti, Calace, as well as music by Piazzolla, and many more unusual works from Italy, Brazil, Mexico and Russia.

A program can be created to fit your special occasion or venue.
