Flamenco Christmas with Duo Destino

St Mary’s, Ewell – A festive evening of passion, light and unforgettable music

Celebrate the season with a magical evening at St Mary’s in Ewell, where Duo Destino bring flamenco warmth, festive sparkle, and their unmistakable signature sound to this special Christmas concert. Expect an intimate night of passion, virtuosity, and music that glows with winter light.

Following their much‑loved previous performances in Ewell, Duo Destino return with the exhilarating Flamenco‑Fusion sound that has captivated audiences across the UK and Europe. Virtuoso guitarists Ben Bruant and Will Cashel blend flamenco fire with reimagined melodies, creating performances that feel both familiar and thrillingly new.

Fresh from the success of their latest original composition Heartbeat — a vibrant, cinematic track resonating with listeners across the UK, France and Italy — the duo arrive at the height of their creative energy.

Since meeting at the Royal Academy of Music in London in 2011, Ben (from Le Havre, trained at the Conservatoire National de Paris) and Will (from Bath, a Purcell School scholar and graduate of the Royal Northern College of Music) have built a partnership defined by dazzling fingerwork, rhythmic percussive techniques, and an infectious on‑stage chemistry.

With nine albums (the latest due in July), two EPs, and acclaimed releases Destino (2023) and Destino – Live (2024), Duo Destino have performed for royalty, at Glastonbury, the Liverpool Philharmonic, the Edinburgh Fringe, Goodwood, and even the F1 Grand Prix. Their music has been featured on BBC Radio 2, Scala Radio (now Magic Classical), and they are the resident band on Susannah Constantine’s hit podcast My Wardrobe Malfunction.

During the pandemic, they gained national recognition with their heartfelt “Gigs in Your Garden” — 70 free concerts for NHS and frontline workers, celebrated on BBC Breakfast, Sky News, and in the national press.

A Sound Bigger Than Two Guitars

Ben and Will create a musical experience so rich and layered you’d swear there were more than two musicians on stage.

Music You Know - Transformed

Their concerts weave original Latin‑inspired compositions with Flamenco‑infused arrangements of well‑known songs - from Albeniz to Daft Punk, Dire Straits to Frankie Valli, and the unmistakable spirit of the Gipsy Kings.

An Unforgettable Christmas Evening

Whether you’ve seen them before or are discovering them for the first time, Duo Destino’s Christmas concert at St Mary’s promises an evening of warmth, artistry and world‑class musicianship.

Expect passion. Expect virtuosity. Expect to be surprised. Once seen, never forgotten.
