Anido Gitaarduo

Annette Kruisbrink (Holland) and Arlette Ruelens
(Belgium) have been a duo since 1995. They call
themselves the Anido guitar duo, after the legendary
guitarist and composer María Luisa Anido (1907-1996).
Annette and Arlette studied the guitar at the conservatory
of Zwolle, Holland. They give concerts and masterclasses
guitar/composition at home and abroad
(a.o.The Netherlands, Argentina, Belgium, Bulgaria, Germany
Luxemburg, Italy, Lithuania, Poland, Spain, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland and Thailand).

Their performance is powerful and expressive with subtle
dynamic contrasts and different colours of sound.

Their repertoire shows a preference for originality
with amongst others own compositions, music
from South-America and compositions by
women composers. Besides being guitarists,
the two are also active in other fields:
Arlette Ruelens as a painter and Annette Kruisbrink
as a composer. She has written over 300 compositions
and has won several first and second prizes.
