Critically acclaimed by the Daily Telegraph as " the classical world's best known guitar duo," Peter and Zoltan Katona effortlessly transfer from strictly classical, into more popular musical genres. They have given recitals in the major concert venues throughout the world including performances at the Carnegie Hall, the Wigmore Hall, the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, the Konzerthaus in Vienna, the Suntory Hall in Tokyo, and the Philharmonie in Cologne.  In 2009, as the soloists of the "Night of the Proms" they performed live to half a million people in arenas across Europe.  The twins have won over ten international prizes at major competitions in New York, London, Germany, France and Hungary and they are currently artists in residence in San Francisco.
