The New Zealand Guitar Quartet will return to Matakana on Sunday September 6, as part of Warkworth Music’s Concert Series.
The group formed in Wellington in 2010 and has quickly developed a following both nationally and internationally.
The quartet members are Owen Moriarty, John Couch, Christopher Hill and Jane Curry.
They have garnered acclaim as soloists on stages around the world and in a multitude of international guitar competitions. Their individual strengths help create an exciting, dynamic and engaging ensemble.
Career highlights include the New Zealand premiere of the Concerto Andaluz by Joaquin Rodrigo with the Nelson Symphony, busy tour schedules with Chamber Music NZ and Arts on Tour and concerts in the Adam International Chamber Music Festival, the Southern Lakes Festival of Colour and Christchurch Arts Festival.
Their wide repertoire covers from the renaissance to the 21st century.
The Matakana concert will present a varied programme including three pieces written specially by Mike Hogan for the quartet. It will be held at the Matakana Village Hall, starting at 4pm. Tickets ($30) are available at door; students are free.
