Young Artists Lunchtime Recital 2

Duo - Newbury Spring Festival Young Artists Lunchtime Recital — duo

Known for playing songs you know in ways you probably don’t, Ben Bruant and Will Cashel met and formed ‘duo’ in 2011 while studying at the Royal Academy of Music in London.

Ben was born in Le Havre in France and studied classical guitar at the National Conservatory in Paris before moving to London. Will, born in Bath, England, won a scholarship to the Purcell School of Music at 14 before gaining a place at the Royal Northern College of Music.

Together they have recorded four albums and performed their Flamenco fusion of pop and classical tracks around the world – to audiences including British and European royalty and at events such as the Liverpool Philharmonic, BBC Good Food Festival, G-Live, and Smoked & Uncut.
