Four uniquely accomplished guitarists bring an infectious energy to the concert stage. Recently returned from concerts in Australia and China, the NZGQ is building an international reputation that transcends geographical and historical borders.
While their performances of contemporary and world music gain wide audience appreciation, a return to their roots on this AOTNZ tour will see them pay tribute to a range of artistic styles including gypsy jazz, bluegrass, Celtic and flamenco.
The quartet is made up of English-born Jane Curry, internationally award-winning classical guitarist and senior lecturer and head of the guitar programme at the New Zealand School of Music at Victoria University in Wellington.
Curry is joined by New Zealand-born, Australian-based classical guitarist John Couch, who is director of New Zealand's premier classical guitar festival, the Taranaki Classical Guitar Summer School.
He holds a Masters of Music and Post-Graduate Diploma in performance and research, and is a Fellow of the Trinity Guildhall (London).
