Duo 12-21: Classical & Electric Guitars

About

Duo 12-21 is a guitar duo formed by Portuguese guitarist Bárbara Macedo (2004) and Estonian guitarist Kelly Johannes (2003), both studying at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam, under the guidance of Gabriel Bianco. 12-21 was born from their desire to step beyond traditional boundaries and explore new possibilities with the guitar. By moving between the classical and electric guitar, they create a dialogue between two contrasting yet connected sound worlds, exploring their different possibilities. The name 12–21 reflects this idea of contrast and connection: two distinct elements that, while different, share a common identity. Their program includes works by celebrated composers from the classical tradition, including J. S. Bach and C. Debussy , alongside contemporay composers such as Steve Reich, Philip Glass and Tõnu Kõrvits . They also perform their own arrangements of music by jazz musicians such as Tigran Hamasyan and Brad Mehldau .
