About us

Jake Lenson and Mark Morris are alumni of both the Royal College of Music, and more recently the Royal Academy of Music where they studied on the unique guitar duo course. They graduated with distinction in summer 2008 and were generously supported by MBF Music Education Awards, the Edith Blythe Trust, the Anne Driver Trust and the Lawrence Atwell Charity.

They have studied with eminent musicians such as Michael Lewin, Timothy Walker, Carlos Bonell and Gary Ryan while taking masterclasses with well-established guitar duos the Katona Twins & the Eden Stell Duo.

They are rapidly earning a reputation as an exciting new duo and have been performing extensively around Britain. In 2007, they were selected to join Live Music Now and the Concordia Foundation who supported their first concerto performance with an orchestra, at St Martin in-the-Fields in August 2008 playing Rodrigo’s Concierto Madrigal.

Other recent highlights have included recitals in the Chichester Festival, the Conservatorio Superior de Músic in Seville, the Young Musicians Platform at Kelmscott Manor and performances in the Iberian and Latin Music Society International Guitar Festival at the Bolivar Hall.

Last year they performed ‘Winter Journey’ by Timothy Bowers in a world premiere of the entire cycle called ‘The Seasons’ for guitar solo, duo, trio and quartet during which they worked closely with the composer. They also worked with Gary Ryan professor of guitar at the RCM on his composition ‘The Generator’.
