"elegance of sound (...) and maturity of interpretation.” —Twoja Muza Magazine
The Kupinski Guitar Duo, comprised of Ewa Jablczynska and Dariusz Kupinski, has earned a growing reputation for performing with tremendous energy and artistry. As one of Europe’s most renowned guitar duos, they have been honored multiple times with prestigious awards and scholarships for artistic achievements, playing recitals in Europe, the US, Mexico, China, Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan. As a part of their passion for education, the Duo has given master classes internationally, and in 2018-19, completed an 18-month research and recording project of music by Grawemeyer Award-winning composers. Their latest CD, Kupinski Guitar Duo Goes Modern, was released in 2022 with the intention of recording new, unknown, and original pieces for guitar duo. In their debut Segovia Classical Guitar Series appearance, the duo offers a program of original arrangements for two guitars of works by Chopin, de Falla, and Mendelssohn, as well as Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue.
