With artistry and musical mastery, the Minneapolis Guitar Quartet has made its case as “one of the major guitar ensembles in the world” (Soundboard Magazine) since its formation in 1986. The foursome’s equally high skill level highlights unbroken, interwoven clarity of lines, distinct voicing and laser-like purity. “More than a guitar quartet, more than superb musicians, and more than a great chamber group” says composer Daniel Roumain. “They are ambassadors of sound, style and substance.” One of the few guitar ensembles performing the majority of its repertoire from memory, the Minneapolis Guitar Quartet (Joseph Hagedorn, Maja Radovanlija, Ben Kunkel and Wade Oden) presents original works and commissions as well as its own arrangements of music by composers such as Ginastera, Debussy and Maria Kalaniemi.
