What unfolds when diverse musical cultures collide and blend? When tensions dissolve only to birth fresh dynamics? When you dismantle boundaries yet remain rooted in your own heritage? These are the realms where the Gantriis-Zimmermann Guitar Duo thrives. Their journey has taken them across borders, collaborating with composers and musicians hailing from countries as varied as South Africa, Argentina, the Faroe Islands, the USA, and Albania.

His enduring commitment to experimental music has garnered him acclaim worldwide. Gantriis-Zimmerman...
