Moguer Duo is born from the desire of two friends to share the stage as one. Sandro Rodrigues and Konstantinos Avlonitis met in 2018, in Maastricht, The Netherlands, where they studied in the class of Maestro Carlo Marchione. Even though the duo has lived many musical experiences together in their university years, the idea of getting together as a professional chamber music formation appears in the beginning of 2022.
Influenced by the personalities of Juan Ramón Jiménez, Platero and Eduardo Sainz de la Maza, the duo found their path, focusing on repertoire from the 19th and 20th century such as E. Granados, A. Tansman or J. K. Mertz. Moguer Duo have participated in competitions such as Veria International Guitar Festival, semifinalists at the Gran Premi Musical Lauredià and were awarded with the 3ème Prix at the 1st Paris International Music Festival.
"From the village feast, red-lit to the sky, come sour
nostalgic waltzes on the gentle wind. The tower is
livid, mute and hard, in a wandering violet, bluish,
yellowish limbo... And there, behind the dark
cellars of the suburb, the falling moon, yellow and
sleepy, sets over the river."
-Juan Ramón Jiménez in Platero y Yo
