Concert by the Cosnefroy-Miralles duo

Duo Cosnefroy-Miralles:
Thaïs Cosnefroy and Antoine Miralles are two young guitarists who graduated in 2024 with a Master's degree in classical guitar from the Conservatoire Royal de Bruxelles in the class of Hugues Navez.

They began playing together as a duo in 2022 and joined Muhiddin Dürrüoglu's chamber music class in January 2023 to benefit from his experience as they developed their projects.

This pair of young guitarists have travelled the ages and continents to offer a repertoire rich in colour and virtuosity. From Baroque beauty to Argentinian milongas, from forgotten masterpieces to Brazilian dances, Thaïs and Antoine are on a perpetual quest for eclectic sounds.

In summer 2023, their programme will include pieces for guitar and cello, which Thaïs is also studying at the Conservatoire Royal de Bruxelles.

There he won a first prize in guitar and chamber music, and then decided to study at the Conservatoire Supérieur du Pays Basque in San Sebastian.

He joined the Conservatoire Royal de Bruxelles in 2022 and obtained his Bachelor's and Master's degrees with Great Distinction in the class of Hugues Navez. In 2024, he began a didactic master's degree in classical guitar.
