Scandinavian Guitar Duo

For more than three decades, the captivating artistry of Per Pålsson and Jesper Sivebæk, collectively known as the Scandinavian Guitar Duo, have indelibly stamped their presence on the Danish chamber music scene. They made a resounding entrance shortly after completing their studies at the Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts, Southern Denmark, securing the top spot in Danish Radio’s prestigious Chamber Music Competition 1993. This marked their emergence as one of Scandinavia’s foremost artistic collaborations. Since that auspicious debut, their journey has been nothing short of remarkable, accumulating honours such as the Sonning Foundation’s prestigious Segovia Prize, named in honour of the legendary Spanish guitarist Andrés Segovia. They have also achieved gold or silver rankings in various international guitar competitions, firmly establishing the Scandinavian Guitar Duo among the musical elite. Embarking on tours across Europe, the United States, and China, the duo has enthralled audiences with their distinctive blend of technical prowess and artistic finesse.
