Susan Legg and Helen Sanderson
Susan and Helen have performed to critical acclaim throughout Europe at venues including the Wigmore Hall, St. John's, Smith Square, the Purcell Room, The House of Commons, St. James's Palace, The Academy of Arts (Berlin) and the Embassies of Moscow and Lisbon. Susan and Helen both studied at the Royal College of Music, and formed their duo as musicians on Lord Menuhin's "Live Music Now!" Scheme.
Their repertoire features works from the guitar's Spanish heritage and the Folk Song tradition, as well as lighter works from the Operetta.
The duo have given successful Summer schools, and their workshops for Lord Menuhin's 'Live Music Now! Scheme have taken them to Schools, Colleges and Centres around the UK.
Helen now acts as an adviser for the Scheme.
In 2003 Susan and Helen will give recitals for Sevenoaks Music Club, Dumfries and Galloway Festival and will return to Yorkshire for a tour later in the year.
