Bluvenduo is a musical collaboration between guitarists Zhanxiang Shi (Shanghai) and Sebastian Robles (Edmonton). The duo formed in San Francisco during their first year of study with their teacher Judicaël Perroy. In their second year, they put together a program of their own transcriptions, Sebastian's compositions, and pieces from the repertoire to perform several concerts in the San Francisco area and throughout Alberta, Sebastian's home province.

Since their inception, the duo has continued to diversify their repertoire with pieces that are enhanced by the simultaneously expressive and percussive sound of the guitar. Their repertoire includes dreamy piano preludes by Rachmaninoff, Dusan Bogdanovic's exhilarating Sonata Fantasia, and Sebastian's adventurous compositions. As a duo, the two guitarists aspire to find a joint musical will while always keeping their distinctive musical identities. Therein lies the magic of the guitar duo: it is a small ensemble that can imitate the harmonic richness of the piano, but with the possibility of dialogue between two musicians with distinct voices.

Currently, the duo is actively collaborating with composers to create new works: with a grant from the Canada Council for the Arts, they recently commissioned a large piece from Czech composer Lukas Janata. The piece, entitled XII: Antiphōna, had its premiere on December 16, 2022 in Geneva.

Zhanxiang and Sebastian are currently studying with Judicaël Perroy at the Haute école de musique de Genève where they are honing their craft and are eager to share their talent on stage.
