Since forming in 2004, the Henderson-Kolk Duo have established themselves as one of Canada’s premier classical guitar duos. As soloists they have combined for nine international competition prizes. As a duo they have performed throughout Canada and the United States, and made their international debut at the Mediterranean Guitar Festival in Cervo, Italy in 2006. Their many upcoming concert engagements include performing, teaching, and judging at one of the most important international guitar events in the world, the Guitar Foundation of America International Convention and Competition in June 2011.

Much of the Duo’s energy has been directed towards arranging new pieces for two guitars. Their first CD, entitled Original Guitar Transcriptions, has received airplay on CBC Radio 2 in Canada, as well as the Classical Guitar Alive! radio programme broadcast throughout the US. The Duo has recently released their second CD, which features original works for guitar as well as their own transcriptions of music by Bach and Ravel. It has received numerous glowing reviews, and was featured on Classical Guitar Alive! as a Best New Release.
