D&A
GuitarDuo

Dimitris Kourzakis and Angelos Botsis started working together as a guitar duo when they where both postgraduate students at Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester/UK. Ever since, they constantly give recitals and premiere original works, as well as their own transcriptions for two guitars, in major halls and festivals. Today they are considered as one of the leading guitar duos in Greece. "Technical mastery, unity and synchronisation, polyphonic clarity, innate musicality. Strikingly original repertoire. Notable flexibility in handling contrasting styles..."

Το "MuSifanto" είναι ένας ετήσιος θεσμός που προάγει τη μουσική εκπαίδευση και τη μουσική πράξη μέσα στο ξεχωριστό φυσικό περιβάλλον του νησιού. Δυστυχώς, οι συνθήκες που επικρατούν σε όλον τον κόσμο και στην Ελλάδα, την εποχή του Covid-19, δεν επέτρεψαν την φυσική διοργάνωση του "MuSifanto 2021" στη Σίφνο. Παρόλα αυτά, η ομάδα της καλλιτεχνικής επιμέλειας του φεστιβάλ "MuSifanto" αναζήτησε έναν τρόπο έτσι ώστε να εξασφαλιστεί η συνέχεια των καλλιτεχνικών δράσεων στο νησί της Σίφνου και εν είδει φεστιβάλ, παρουσιάζει φέτος δύο μουσικά video, γυρισμένα σε δύο απομακρυσμένα Σιφναϊκά τοπία, χαρακτηριστικά της απαράμιλλης ομορφιάς και της πλούσιας πολιτισμικής ιστορίας του νησιού. Στο δεύτερο κατά σειρά video, το ντουέτο κιθάρας «D&A GuitarDuo» Δημήτρης Κουρζάκης και Άγγελος Μπότσης, μόνιμοι συνεργάτες του MuSifanto, ερμηνεύουν την «Κόρδοβα» του Ισπανού συνθέτη Ισαάκ Αλμπένιθ, στη Χερρόνησο της Σίφνου.

We are specialized in the highest quality concert guitars as well as historic guitars from around the world. Our passion for these unique instruments and the joy to give guitarists, passionate players, and collectors the possibility to purchase their own appropriate instrument is the motivation that drives us. Another focus is to work closely with established and young, largely unknown luthiers. Together we want to develop new ideas and share experiences with our customers. We also recorded pieces for many great composers such as Johann Sebastian Bach, Astor Piazzolla and Isaac Albeniz (Asturias). You will also find almost all the classical music composers that wrote for the classical guitar.
