Aquarelle Guitar Quartet

The Aquarelle Guitar Quartet isn’t just recognised as one of the world’s leading guitar ensembles, they’re redefining what a modern chamber group can be. With breathtaking ensemble playing, eclectic repertoire choices, and a reputation for electrifying performances, the AGQ have carved themselves a unique place on the international stage. Whether reimagining well known classical repertoire, exploring the soundscapes of Latin America, or collaborating with global icons, they captivate audiences with artistry, imagination, and technical flair. At the heart of their artistry lies a commitment to diversity of repertoire: from early Renaissance works to contemporary commissions, the AGQ brings new life to the music of composers ranging from Rossini, Albeniz and Piazzolla to Jobim, Sakamoto and Ginastera. The AGQ has released five critically acclaimed albums on the Chandos Records label, ‘Spirit of Brazil’, ‘Dances’, ‘Final Cut’, ‘Cuatro’ and ‘Aspects’. Their recordings showcase not only their technical brilliance but also their boundary-pushing vision of what the guitar quartet medium can achieve. In 2023, world-renowned Australian guitarist Craig Ogden joined the ensemble, ushering in a bold new chapter for the quartet. Since then, the AGQ continues to prove why they remain one of the most thrilling and innovative chamber groups on the global stage.
