Join us for a captivating performance by Boyd Meets Girl the acclaimed cello and guitar duo of Australian classical guitarist Rupert Boyd and American cellist Laura Metcalf. Known for their “beguiling... enchanting” musical chemistry (Gramophone) the duo brings their signature blend of classical elegance and contemporary flair to a program inspired by their album Songs of Love and Despair.
This evocative program features music that spans centuries and continents from the sultry bittersweet tangos of Astor Piazzolla (Café 1930) to the rhythmic fire of Heitor Villa-Lobos the passionate lyricism of Manuel de Falla and original arrangements of works both classical and popular. True to their reputation for genre-defying artistry Boyd Meets Girl may also surprise with reimaginings of modern favorites creating a soulful journey through sound.
With over 4 million streams on Spotify and performances that have taken them across the USA Australia India Nepal and beyond Boyd Meets Girl is celebrated not only for their virtuosity — Boyd hailed as “truly evocative” (The Washington Post) Metcalf as “brilliant” (Gramophone) — but for their engaging conversational stage presence. As arrangers of much of their own repertoire they break down the boundaries between musical genres — and between audience and performer.
Both artistic directors of New York's GatherNYC concert series and a happily married couple Boyd and Metcalf invite you to experience a deeply personal and unforgettable evening of music.
