Soothing and sophisticated, alluring and hypnotic… solo or a duo of guitarists for your event. – Inspired Music

The Miyabi Duo is a vibrant and versatile guitar duo, comprising Saki Kato (Japan) and Hugh Millington (UK). Together they perform a variety of music for two guitars, ranging from original compositions for the duo, to music on 19th century period guitars, and classic staples of the Spanish guitar repertoire. They have given many performances at prestigious venues, including Wigmore Hall, London.
With a special passion for performing new music, the duo regularly collaborates with composers on new pieces for guitar in both concerts and recordings. These have included music by Electra Perivolaris, Sylvia Lim, Timothy Bowers, Stephen Balfour, and Mihailo Trandafilovski.
They have also recorded music by Edward Cowie and Mihailo Trandafilovski on the albums Streams and Particles and Polychromy, (both released by Métier in 2022 and available on all streaming platforms). The duo is currently recording an album of the guitar music of composer Timothy Bowers, (video below).
The Miyabi Duo works extensively in community music-making contexts, and in 2020, the duo was awarded the Wigmore Hall Learning/ Open Academy Ensemble Fellowship. This led them to work with people of all ages across Wigmore Hall Learning’s vast programme, including musical workshops for people living with dementia.
Based in Suffolk, they frequently collaborate with organisations, including Britten Pears Arts, with whom they regularly lead musical workshops for their ‘Participate’ programme, which aims to use music to combat social isolation in rural communities.
