Hrvatski gitarski duo čine dvoje istaknutih gitarista – Edin Karamazov i Melita Ivković – donoseći program koji spaja profinjenu stilsku analizu i tehničku briljantnost, nudeći publici koncertni doživljaj u kojem izražajnost gitare doseže svoje najviše umjetničke vrhunce.
Na repertoaru su dela Josepha Haydna, Sergeja Prokofjeva i Johanna Sebastiana Bacha, koje je za dve gitare obradio Edin Karamazov. Kroz pomno osmišljene interpretacije, ovaj muzički dijalog dvoje vrsnih gitarista istražuje granice formata gitarskog dua, od klasicističke elegancije i suptilnosti baroknog kontrapunkta do ekspresivne modernosti 20. veka.
Edin Karamazov, jedan od najoriginalnijih i najcenjenijih gitarista i lautista današnjice, poznat je po svojoj interpretacijskoj preciznosti i jedinstvenom pristupu repertoaru. Njegova izvedba odlikuje se
dubokom analizom muzičkog teksta, istraživačkim duhom i tehničkom superiornošću. Karamazov je nastupao u najprestižnijim svetskim dvoranama i sarađivao s vrhunskim muzičarima kao što su Sting, Andreas Scholl i Dorothee Oberlinger, a njegova bogata diskografija svedoči o umetničkoj znatiželji i želji za pomeranjem granica interpretacije.
Melita Ivković, čiji umetnički rad je obuhvatio nastupe u 32 zemlje na četiri kontinenta, pedagoški rad i vođenje međunarodnih festivala. Njena interpretacija spaja virtuoznost s dubokim razumevanjem
stilskih karakteristika, a njeno delovanje kao članice Zagrebačkog gitarističkog kvarteta i
etnomuzikološkog projekta Dina e Mel dodatno potvrđuje posvećenost širenju granica gitarske
literature.
