Roxane Elfasci (France) is a classically trained guitarist celebrated for her expressive interpretations of Debussy, Bach, and Philip Glass, with acclaimed recordings and performances across Europe. Minnie Marks (UK/Australia) is a powerhouse singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist whose fiery guitar, foot drum grooves, and commanding vocals create a genre-defying, high-energy performance.

Together, these four artists promise a night of virtuosity, innovation, and unforgettable collaboration.
