Tom Ellis and Laura Snowden, currently students at the Royal College of Music, were the first guitarists to attend the Yehudi Menuhin School under a bursary scheme funded by the Rolling Stones. Their guitar teacher, then as now, is Richard Wright. During their time at the Menuhin School they took part in numerous concerts as soloists and chamber musicians and also formed their duo partnership. At the 2007 Guildford International Festival they gave a concert of chamber music for guitar and strings with a group of fellow YMS pupils. As a duo they have appeared at Kings Place, the Royal Albert Hall’s Elgar Room, the Chacombe and Deal Festivals and the Royal College of Music’s Britten Theatre. In March 2008 they were the guest artists at the National Youth Guitar Ensemble’s annual concert at London’s Bolivar Hall.
