About Us

Duetto Arpeggione are a Suffolk-based ensemble, performing across Suffolk, Norfolk, Cambridgeshire and Essex and further afield. The combination of Cello and Classical Guitar is perhaps more unusual than the traditional string quartet, but the voices of both these instruments combine effectively and they lend themselves to performance in a range of musical styles. Whilst our signature sound is providing a classical twist on Pop and Rock music, we are equally at home performing Classical, Jazz and Folk music - making Duetto Arpeggione the perfect choice for something a little different at your event.
