Duo Marier - Neil Sild (Cello) & Austin Miller (Guitar)

29th August 2025 7.30pm. Falkirk Trinity Church

Duo Marier is a guitar and cello duo based in Glasgow, formed in 2023. Both classically trained in their respective instruments, they have found a love for playing as a String duo. The two acoustic string instruments are seldom paired, yet they aim to create an intimate performance. Having played as soloists and as part of string quartets and orchestras across the UK, including BBC Philharmonic, RSNO & Scottish Ballet, they strive for musical excellence and innovation. As the musical output for the two instruments is sparse, Austin & Neil often arrange music and hope to write their own in future. They aim to share their passion of this unique ensemble and demonstrate that, though small, it can be incredibly versatile.
