The Goldspiel/Provost Classical Guitar Duo

Outstanding”, “amazing musicians”, “thrilling”, and “charismatic” are the accolades the press has offered to describe the Goldspiel/Provost Classical Guitar Duo. The Duo’s concerts of original and transcribed works for two guitars - reaching back to the Baroque and pointing to the future with dramatic cutting-edge works by modern composers - have earned bravos from audiences across America. The current recital program, “Latin Magic”, features fiery Argentinean Tangos and Jazz-influenced contemporary compositions, along with fascinating transcriptions of Spain’s turn-of-the-century piano masterworks set for two guitars.

As performing and touring artists for the Louisiana State Division of the Arts, New England Foundation for the Arts, and the Connecticut Commission on the Arts, the Duo has performed extensively for school children, conducted master classes for serious students of the guitar, and lectured on music.

Alan Goldspiel is Associate Professor of Music and Coordinator of the Music Department at Louisiana Tech University and Richard Provost is Professor of Classical Guitar at the Hartt School, of the University of Hartford.

Three CD recordings released by the Goldspiel/Provost Classical Guitar Duo have garnered praise from Fanfare Magazine, American Record Guide, Soundboard, and Classical Guitar Magazine, and these recordings are frequently heard on National Public Radio stations throughout the country. Their soon-to-be-released recording "Latin Magic" features highlights from the concert program.

The guitar is an instrument that draws concertgoers from all musical persuasions, appreciated by both the sophisticated listener and especially by the enormous number of amateur guitarists hungry to see and hear it well played. Two guitars, in the hands of the Goldspiel/Provost Classical Guitar Duo, will afford your patrons an unforgettable evening of music.
