Coastal Concerts presents Boyd Meets Girl
Boyd Meets Girl
RUPERT BOYD, GUITAR &
LAURA METCALF, CELLO
Boyd Meets Girl pairs Australian classical guitarist Rupert Boyd with American cellist Laura Metcalf.
The duo has toured the world sharing their eclectic mix of music from Debussy and Bach to Radiohead and Beyoncé, and their two studio albums have received over 4 million streams on Spotify.
Both acclaimed soloists in their own right, Boyd has been described as “truly evocative” by The Washington Post, and as "a player who deserves to be heard" by Classical Guitar Magazine, while Metcalf, who has also toured as a member of the popular chamber ensembles Eighth Blackbird, Break of Reality and Sybarite5, has been called "brilliant" by Gramophone.
Boyd Meets Girl has toured throughout the USA, India, Nepal, New Zealand, and Australia, including engagements at Caramoor, Newport Classical, Festival Napa Valley, Austin Classical Guitar, Moab Music Festival and many others.
The duo’s debut album, released on the Grammy award-winning label Sono Luminus, reached #3 on the Billboard charts, and received the following praise in Gramophone: “They play like one, with a harmony of purpose as sure as their intonation.”
Their follow-up album, Songs of Love and Despair, was also praised in Gramophone as “Beguiling… fascinating… enchanting…”
In 2024, Boyd Meets Girl gave the world premiere performances of ANAHATA, a cello and guitar double concerto composed by the Grammy-nominated Clarice Assad, and commissioned for the duo by the Hartford Symphony Orchestra.
