Flauguissimo Duo

Flauguissimo Duo

Flauguissimo Duo was founded by flautist Yu-Wei Hu and guitarist Johan Löfving in 2008. Their wide repertoire, spanning from early music on period instruments to collaborations with new composers, has led to a particularly diverse performing career. They have performed many concerts in prestigious venues including Kings Place and Cadogan Hall in London as well as St George’s Bristol and Sage Gateshead in Newcastle. They were also invited to perform in the Stratford-on- Avon Festival, Honiton Festival, Bath Guitar Festival and Kings Lynn Festival; abroad they have performed in Utrecht Early Music Festival Fringe, Swedish Guitar and Lute Festival and the Bach Hall in Taiwan.

Flauguissimo is keen on outreach projects, especially those bringing live music to new audiences. They have given workshops at Bristol University and a number of schools across the UK. Additionally, they were selected for several schemes aimed at young musicians such as Brighton Early Music Festival Live!, International Guitar Foundation Young Artist Platform, Concordia Foundation Young Artists and Live Music Now. Flauguissimo also performs regularly as a larger ensemble in various constellations, with a repertoire spanning from Baroque trio sonatas to classical orchestral works.
