The Aquarelle Guitar Quartet group began at the Royal Northern College of Music in 1998. As one of Britain’s leading chamber music groups, it is a dynamic and innovative ensemble that captivates audiences with eclectic repertoire and spell-binding performances.

Described as the “Next big thing making its arrival in the classical guitar world”, the quartet has performed extensively in major venues including the Wigmore Hall, St. Martin-in-the-Fields and Bridgewater Hall. Their performances have taken them throughout Europe, most recently visiting Denmark, Greece and Ireland. The quartet are responsible for the re-emergence of two great concertos, regularly appearing with orchestras throughout Britain for performances of Rodrigo’s Concierto Andaluz and Torroba’s Concierto Iberico for four guitars. AGQ has performed as part of the Last Night of the Proms and have given live broadcasts on Radio 3, Classic FM, Lyric FM and ERA 3 (Greece), and in 2007 became the only guitar quartet to have ever performed in the finals of the Royal Overseas League and Young Concert Artists Trust (YCAT) Competitions.
“If one guitar quartet can give a traditional string quartet a run for its money in terms of abundant technique and breathtaking artistry, it is the Aquarelle Guitar Quartet”
Robert Levett, International Record Review

“…a highly polished chamber ensemble consisting of mature, experienced and immensely talented players.” Craig Ogden
