PH Concert Series - Guitar Duo

21.02.2024


On February 20, 2024, the Delegation of Prague to the EU organised the second concert from the Prague House Concert Series – Year of Czech Music 2024. This time given by the students of the Royal Conservatory of Brussels Thaïs Cosnefroy and Antoine Miralles (Guitar Duo).

Guitar Duo Cosnefroy-Miralles Thaïs Cosnefroy (France/Czech Republic) and Antoine Miralles (France) are both second year students of classic guitar master at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels in the class of Hugues Navez. It was during the year 2022 that they started playing together in duet and joined the Muhiddin Dürrüoglu chamber music class in January 2023 in order to benefit from his experience to develop their projects. The couple of young guitarists travel the eras and crisscross the continents to offer a repertoire rich in colors and virtuosity. From baroque beauty to Argentine Milongas, forgotten masterpieces with Brazilian dances, Thaïs and Antoine are in perpetual quest for eclectic sounds. In summer 2023, they included pieces for guitar and cello in their repertoire, since Thaïs studies also violoncello at the Royal Conservatory in Brussels.
