Australian classical guitarist Rupert<br />
Boyd and his wife, American cellist<br />
Laura Metcalf have toured the world<br />
as Boyd Meets Girl, sharing their eclectic<br />
mix of music from Schubert to Radiohead<br />
and Beyoncé. The duo arranges<br />
much of their repertoire themselves,<br />
drawing inspiration from artists across<br />
all genres, and they speak from the stage<br />
to create an engaging, conversational<br />
concert experience. This luncheon concert<br />
on April 4 at Sarasota Yacht Club<br />
features, in part, their own arrangements<br />
of works by Lennon/McCartney,<br />
Debussy, Bach, Shaw, and Price. Single<br />
ticket: $68 (includes lunch).<br />
Founded in 2008 by the husband-andwife<br />
team of internationally renowned<br />
pianists Catherine Lan and Tao Lin,<br />
Duo Beaux Arts takes the power of the<br />
piano and doubles it. Known for their<br />
adrenalized performances, this dynamic<br />
duo has performed to critical acclaim<br />
across the U.S., Europe, and China.<br />
This recital features works for piano<br />
“four hands” and two pianos, including<br />
Mozart’s Sonata for Two Pianos in<br />
D major, K448; Schubert’s Fantasie in f<br />
minor for piano four hands, Op 940; and<br />
pieces by Vivaldi, Debussy, and Strauss.<br />
The pair perform at the Studio for Performing<br />
Arts Recital Hall at State College<br />
of Florida on April 16 at 7:30 pm.<br />
Single ticket: $40.<br />
The April concerts conclude at the<br />
Fischer/Weisenborne residence with<br />
Shannon Lee, violin and Ying Li, piano<br />
on April 28 and April 29 at 4:00 p.m. The<br />
first place winners of Artist Series Concerts’<br />
2017 and 2018 international violin<br />
and piano competitions join forces for<br />
this spectacular soirée program.<br />

Symphony at age 12. Since then, she has<br />
been a prize winner in the Sendai Competition<br />
in Japan, the Queen Elisabeth<br />
Competition in Belgium, and the Shanghai<br />
