Evocative music from around the world, played on four classical guitars - from Australia; the brilliant shimmer of Opals, from Cuba; the fury of a hailstorm, and from Spain; the passion of the Fandango.
Bio / Background
The San Francisco Guitar Quartet are David Dueñas, Patrick Francis, Christopher Hanford, and Mark Simons - four Bay Area guitarists presenting an expansive and vibrant repertoire of newly composed works as well as time-tested classics. Exploring the many and varied possibilities of four guitars playing together, an SFGQ program is a veritable guitar lover’s Wonderland, offering at once an abundant, engaging, and delightfully eclectic listening experience. From the infectious rhythms of Brazil to the whirling dances of the Balkans, from the passion of the tango to the hypnotic textures of minimalism, the SFGQ manifests a modern yet all-embracing approach to chamber music for classical guitar - with deference to the guitar's deep roots in both the folk and classical traditions.
↓ more ↓Through their national and international touring, ground-breaking recordings, and featured performances at major guitar festivals, the SFGQ has established itself as an enduring presence in the classical guitar world. If you like the guitar, you will love the SFGQ's recording, "Black Opal" - what CDbaby called "one of the best we've ever heard."
