Siqueira Lima Guitar Duo – Release
The Siqueira Lima Guitar Duo is formed by Cecilia Siqueira, born in Uruguay, and Fernando de
Lima from Minas Gerais, Brazil. The Siqueira Lima is one of the most distinguished Guitar Duo.
Their work is characterized by joining classical and instrumental Brazilian music. They are
recognized for their technical and interpretive virtuosity, perfect engagement, and for their
daring and original arrangements made for two guitars.
During their recent United States tour the duo was very successful, receiving excellent reviews
and being presented with the 2014 Brazilian International Press Award.
"Cecilia Siqueira, from Uruguay, and Fernando de Lima, from Brazil were more
geographically diverse in pieces as finely detailed as a Fabergé egg.”
– NEW YORK TIMES – January 21, 2014 –
Their technical versatility and ample musical and interpretive interest have already resulted in
four different albums, covering European baroque music to South American popular. Their
albums include:
Tudo Concorda ‐ Independently released, 2002
Extensive repertoire, ranging from classical to popular music.
Lado a Lado ‐ Independently released, 2006
Original arrangements of popular Brazilian music.
Um a Um ‐ GHA Records, 2010
Their second album is dedicated to Brazilian music, with original arrangements and
playing for the first time brand new songs created especially for the duo.
Barroco ‐ GHA Records, 2015
Dedicated to the music of Bach, Handel and Scarlatti.
Cecilia and Fernando met at the "II International Guitar Contest Pró‐Música/SESC" in 2001 in
Caxias do Sul, a city in the south of Brazil, where they shared the first place among participants
from several countries. This event was critical for the creation of the duo and marked the
beginning of an international career.
Since 2003, they have toured the world performing in cities such as Paris, Milan, Madrid,
London, Dublin, Brussels, Amsterdam, Lausanne, Luxemburg, Moscow, Minsk, Warsaw,
Bratislava, Sarajevo, New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Dallas, Las Vegas, Pretoria, Luanda,
