THE GUITAR VIOLIN DUO
This Sydney based duo was established in 2009 and has since performed all around the world. This duo met at the Sydney Conservatorium and began as a duo performing their own arrangements of their favourite classical pieces. Since their humble beginning the Guitar/Violin duo has broadened their musical influences and repertoire to consist of many world genres, in particular the music of Django Reinhardt 'Gypsy Jazz'. Mimosa suit any occasion whether it be formal or informal, big or small, indoors or outside and their music will cater for everybody from their peaceful classical arrangements to their more raucous gypsy jazz solos. The duo consists of Phoebe O'Shea on the violin and Morgan Haselden on the guitar.
Guitar & Violin Duo is an exciting and refreshing duo. Their repertoire is a colourful
array of music that inspires them. From soft to loud, fast to slow,
moody and energetic they play it all.
After meeting at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music while completing
their studies in classical music, Morgan and Phoebe discovered their
musical similarities and began to perform together. During their study
at the Conservatorium, they each received a collection of scholarships
including the 'Frank Hammond Scholarship', 'Oliver Silvester
Scholarship' and 'Jean (Giles) and Thomas Louis Pidcock Violin
Scholarship'. After their classical beginnings Mimosa has branched out
to a number of different world music genres.
