Anderson/Fader Guitar Duo Concerts
Widely regarded as one of the best guitar duos in the U.S., for the past 20 years the Anderson/Fader Guitar Duo has been heard in concerts, festivals and master classes throughout the North America, Latin America and Europe. The Duo performs great works of the standard repertoire and champions the work of living American composers. The list of composers who have written important works for the Duo include Babbitt, Davidovsky, Naito, Rakowski, Ferrante, and others.
Mr. Anderson and Mr. Fader met while in their teens in New York City, as students of the legendary guitarist David Starobin. Now based in New York City, the Duo has performed with many presenters and organizations, most notably with James Levine and the Metropolitan Opera Chamber Players at Zankel Hall, performing the guitar and mandolin parts in Elliott Carter's Luimen. Anderson and Fader, with Cygnus, were in residence at the Library of Congress in the winter of 2012. Ongoing residencies at the CUNY Graduate Center and Sarah Lawrence College give the Duo an opportunity to work with young composers. In addition to classical and electric guitars, the Duo has added mandolin, banjo and theorbo to their instrumentation to accommodate their ever expanding repertoire.

"His melodies leap freely around the fretboard, and his rhythms are complex and perilous. Anderson and Fader played the work from memory, and gave an impressive account of it." The New York Times
"Anderson and Fader are expert chamber musicians with a perfect sense of timing, virtuosity and a sensitivity to nuance." Guitar Review Magazine
“The Baltimore Sun” calls Damon Ferrante's music "focused and colorful with an unexpected, decidedly poetic touch."
