Kenny and Rachael met as teenagers growing up in rural Perthshire, Scotland. They went on to study in the same year at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in Glasgow where they graduated in 2015. Both now occupy active musical careers, teaching and performing across Scotland. The Buchanan Duo was formed out of a mutual passion for chamber performance, and a desire to put their many years of friendship to creative use. The duo are currently exploring an exciting range of repertoire from Spain, Italy, Latin America, and Scotland. The name Buchanan reflects the duo's connection to Glasgow and to their traditional Scottish heritage.
