Since being International Guitar Foundation young artists in 2016 they have gone on to release a CD of the guitar chamber works of Stephen Dodgson with NAXOS in 2017 and are Park Lane Group young artists for the 2018/19 season.

 

自2016年荣获吉他基金会青年艺术家以来，他们在2017年与拿索斯合作发行了史蒂芬·道奇森吉他室内乐作品唱片，并获得了2018 /19乐季派克兰集团（派克兰集团艺术基金会）（Park Lane Group）颁发的青年艺术家奖。

 

Known for their "benchmark performances" (Mark Houghton), the Mēla guitar quartet's "musicianship makes you forget that you are listening to four guitars and carries you to a different sound world" (Thérèse Wassily Saba, Gendai Guitar magazine), their playing "shines, shimmers with sparkling clarity, what's more, they play from memory and make pieces their own; wonderful music making!" (Phillip Houghton)

 

梅拉吉他四重奏以其"高水准的演出"而闻名 （马克·霍顿），他们的"音乐会让你忘记是在听四把吉他的演奏并将你带到一个全新的音乐世界"（泰蕾丝·瓦西里·萨巴，日本现代吉他杂志），他们的演奏"光芒四溢，更重要的是，他们在遵循原作同时融入自身对音乐的理解，演绎出融入自身风格的音乐；多么美妙的音乐！" (菲利普·霍顿)

 

They have performed in venues such as St. James' Church, Piccadilly; Kings Place, Hall one; Milton Court, Barbican; Southbank Centre, London; Wigmore Hall, London; International Anthony Burgess Foundation, Manchester and Jimi Hendrix's bedroom, at the HandelHendrix House.

他们曾在皮卡迪利大街的圣雅各教堂(St. James' Church)、艺文广场（King's Place）、伦敦威格摩尔音乐厅、巴比肯中心米尔顿中心音乐厅、伦敦南岸艺术中心、曼切斯特安东尼·伯吉斯基金会、吉他之神吉米·亨德里克斯故居等多地进行表演。

丹尼尔·博维

 

As well as Mēla Guitar Quartet, Dan performs in the Vickers-Bovey Guitar Duo. The duo studied at the Royal Academy of Music on the Masters of Arts Guitar Duo Programme. They are the dedicatees of new works by composers including Joe Cutler, Michael Finnissy and Ryan Probert, whose extensive work 'Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji' forms the duo's debut album.

Dan has many brothers and sisters but grew up in a house populated by a greater number of cats than humans.

 

有趣的是虽然丹有很多兄弟姐妹，但他却在一个猫比人还多的家里长大。

 

George Tarlton

乔治·塔尔顿

 

George's musical career began as a boy with the Norbury based choir "Libera" singing on multiple TV appearances, recordings and concerts across the country and abroad. Later the guitar became an allconsuming passion which led to his studies with Robert Brightmore and David Miller at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama where he graduated with a first class Bachelor of Music Honours Degree in 2015.

 

乔治的音乐生涯始于他少年时期，彼时他作为诺伯里天使之翼合唱团的一员曾在各地乃至国外的多个电视节目、录制活动和音乐会上演出。后来，乔治将他对音乐的热情投入到吉他演奏上，并随罗伯特·布莱莫尔教授（Robert Brightmore）和大卫·米勒教授（David Miller）在伦敦市政厅音乐戏剧学院学习，于2015年获得一等音乐荣誉学士学位。

 

Notable performances recently include: BBC Radio 3's "Late Junction", Joaquin Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez with the Cerddorfa Dinas Powys Orchestra and in Venues such as Milton Court and Kings Place.

 

他近演出亮点包括：英国广播公司（BBC）广播3台的"深夜交叉点"厂牌、和塞德多法o迪纳斯o波伊思管弦乐队合作华金o罗德里戈的《阿兰胡埃斯协奏曲》（亦称《阿兰胡埃斯之恋》），以及在巴比肯中心米尔顿中心音乐厅和艺文广场等场所进行演出。

 

He also enjoys his 4 cats, Jeremy, Roger, Luka and Boris.

 

此外，他很喜欢他的四只猫，杰里米、罗杰、卢卡和鲍里斯。

Jiva graduated from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in 2014. Whilst there Jiva won the English Song Prize with Tenor Dominick Felix and performed at St. Martins in the Fields.

 

吉瓦2014年毕业于伦敦市政厅音乐戏剧学院。在那里，吉瓦与男高音多明尼克·费利克斯一起获得了英国歌曲奖，并在圣马丁教堂（St. Martins in the Fields）演出。

 

A busy performer and teacher, Jiva plays in the Accord guitar duo with George Tarlton as well as the Richter-Housden duo with Violinist Hartmut Richter. Jiva has recently performed with several orchestras, including performing the mandolin in Mozart's Don Giovanni alongside the tenor Marcin Bronikowski.

 

吉瓦是一位忙碌的演奏家和老师，他不但与乔治·塔尔顿一起组成了雅阁吉他二重奏，还与小提琴家哈特穆特·里希特组成了里希特-哈斯顿二重奏。同时，吉瓦近还和几个管弦乐队合作登台，包括在莫扎特的歌剧《唐璜》中与男高音马尔辛o布罗尼科夫斯基一起表演曼陀林。

 

In the spirit of not being the odd one out Jiva now lives in a 2 cat household, both of which begrudgingly feel at home with the sound of guitars.

 

本着不做例外的想法，吉瓦现在住在一个有2只猫的家庭里，虽然它们都很不情愿在家里听到吉他声。
