Duo Como (accordion & guitar)
Accordion & guitar
Duo Como’s musical palette goes far beyond traditional boundaries. Emma Wills (guitar) and Sebastian Enriques (accordion) share a passion for light, elegant classical music from past and present, the vibrant energy of jazz, distinctive rhythms, film music, and warm southern influences. Since original repertoire for guitar and accordion is rare, Duo Como creates their own arrangements for this brilliant instrumental pairing. Their performances radiate joy and playfulness, alongside a profound drive to make music together. With great virtuosity, these two musicians move effortlessly from light and uplifting melodies to darker, more melancholic moods.
Their name, inspired by a cherished journey to Italy’s Lake Como, perfectly reflects the spirit they bring to every performance — friendship, musicality, and the simple, pure pleasure of making music together.

Nova
Duo Como
Nova is a vibrant classical program in which Duo Como expands and reinvents their repertoire for guitar and accordion. In this program, Sebastian and Emma present their own arrangements and explore the full expressive range of this unusual instrumental combination.
Inspired by composers such as A. Vivaldi, C. Saint-Saëns, M. Pujol, and P. Glass, they transform familiar works into a lively, breathing dialogue between strings and bellows. In Nova, audiences hear Camille Saint-Saëns’ famous Danse Macabre for the first time in Duo Como’s own arrangement for accordion and guitar. Works such as Philip Glass’ Mishima and Vivaldi’s Concerto for Two Mandolins in G are also reimagined, creating a fresh sound world that brings this instrumental combination vividly to life.
