Ziggy and Miles
“Australian guitarist brothers making history” (The Age), Ziggy and Miles are two of their home country’s finest young musicians forging an international career. Their performances are known for their “deeply considered musicianship, immaculate care and superlative technique” (5MBS). Winners of the 2023 YCA (Young Concert Artists) Susan Wadsworth International Auditions, the brothers have become the first guitar duo and second guitarists to receive this prestigious award in the organisation’s 63-year history.
Based in NYC, the brothers maintain an active concert schedule across Australia, New Zealand and the US. Their repertoire covers the full spectrum of the classical canon with a focus on commissioning and premiering underplayed works by current composers.
Ziggy and Miles play guitars by Australian luthier Jim Redgate with Savarez strings.
They are managed internationally by Young Concert Artists.
