In our Spring Concert, we welcome the fantastic Aquarelle Guitar Quartet for a wonderful evening of music at St James' Church in Glossop. There are no tickets for this event, just turn up and donate what you can at the end. Doors and the bar will open at 6.30pm. Recognised as one of the world’s leading guitar quartets, the Aquarelle Guitar Quartet is a dynamic and innovative group known for its extraordinary ensemble in performance, expansive repertoire and ground-breaking work in developing the guitar quartet medium. In 2023, Craig Ogden joined the group. As well as being a world-renowned soloist, Craig is an exceptional chamber musician and the quartet is looking forward to new projects including an exciting recording collaboration of music from Latin America and a supporting tour. “All is performed with that same customary blend of high-octane virtuosity, relaxed lyricism, tonal richness and perfection of ensemble which has made the Aquarelle Guitar Quartet not merely one of the world’s leading guitar ensembles but, for sheer imagination and musicality, equal to the finest string quartet going.” Gramophone Magazine Concert programme: Egberto Gismonti Baião Malandro Bizet Carmen Suite Ariel Ramirez Alfonsina y el mar Alberto Ginastera Three Argentinian Dances Ismael Ledesma A mi pueblo Luiz Bonfà Manhã de Carnaval Eduardo Martín Hasta Alicia Baila David Pritchard Stairs Olga Amelkina-Vera Nebulae Gustavo Santaolalla De Ushuaia a la Quiaca Paulo Bellinati A Furiosa Aquarelle Guitar Quartet: Mike Baker, Vasilis Bessas, James Jervis, Craig Ogden
