'Light-years ahead of any guitar duo past or present.’
American Record Guide
‘Listening to the Assad Brothers is a bit like hearing four hands playing one large guitar.’
Los Angeles Times
Described by the Washington Post as quite simply 'the best two-guitar team in existence, maybe even in history', Brazilian-born brothers and Latin Grammy winners Sérgio and Odair Assad have set the benchmark for all other guitarists by creating a new standard of guitar innovation, ingenuity and expression. Having also played a major role in creating and introducing new music for two guitars, the duo is known for their uncanny ensemble-playing, which also extends to collaborations with such renowned artists as Yo-Yo Ma, Paquito D'Rivera and Gidon Kremer.
Join Sérgio and Odair Assad on 26th September as they share their expertise with RAM students in a morning of open masterclasses, followed by a live Q&A session in the afternoon with Michael Lewin, Head of the RAM Guitar Department, as they discuss music, guitars...and more!
