A rare guitar ensemble devoted to contemporary music, from the celebratory to the cerebral. The Dublin Guitar Quartet has piloted an impressive repertory of new work and original arrangements from compositional giants-and works audiences clamor to hear-delivered with tremendous style and vitality. "A wonderful ensemble. The Dublin Guitar Quartet has carved a place for itself in the world of classical music" (Philip Glass).
The Quartet has dedicated its career with unwavering devotion to performing contemporary music, an aspect that makes the ensemble unique within its genre. With the help of eight and eleven-string guitars the quartet has created an original catalogue of arrangements by composers such Philip Glass, Steve Reich, Arvo Part and Gyorgy Ligeti.
