Crossing Strings, an Austrian crossover guitar duo consisting of Carina Maria Linder on classical guitar and Markus Schlesinger on fingerstyle guitar, will tour NSW throughout December and January including a concert at the Lake House at The Entrance on December 31.
With their debut album Intersections, the duo will embark on their first Australian tour with a program that offers a diverse mix of original compositions, self-arranged classical, jazz, and pop evergreens, accompanied by the stories behind their creation, and ultimately showcasing two voices that complement each other uniquely.
At first glance this is a duo that couldn’t be more different, where two seemingly completely different worlds collide.
Linder has dedicated herself to classical guitar from the tender age of eight, achieving remarkable success in various international guitar competitions with chamber music performances in classical guitar duos.
Schlesinger is an internationally touring fingerstyle guitarist and founder of the Vienna Fingerstyle Festival, who complements this duo with his sophisticated original compositions and groovy arrangements of well-known songs.
The program of these two professionals in their respective fields is a diverse mix of original compositions, self-arranged classical, jazz, and pop evergreens, featuring two voices that enhance it with both impulsive intensity and playful lightness.
By bridging the gap between two seemingly contrasting worlds, this duo indulges in a multi-faceted symbiosis of classical music, jazz, and popular music, taking the audience to completely new and unfamiliar musical realms.
