The American ensemble Duo46 was established in 1994 in Tucson, Arizona by guitarist Matt Gould and violinist Beth Ilana Schneider. Since then, they have emerged through their commissioning, performing around the world, recording and teaching as a leading advocate of 20th- and 21st-century chamber music with guitar (duets, trios and double concertos). Their repertoire of over 500 original works includes over 100 works either commissioned by them or dedicated to them.
