Grand Rapids Guitar Quartet Offers Something for Everyone



The Grand Rapids Guitar Quartet was started by four professional guitarists and instructors in the Grand Rapids area. Their MAJIC debut marked their second year anniversary as a group together.

Their concert featured a little something for everyone: Renaissance dance pieces, Bach's sixth Brandenburg Concerto, two transcriptions of works by Maurice Ravel, a new premier by Grand Rapids composer Andrew Bergeron called Argentine Dance Suite, and a transcription of Mozart's Eine kleine Nachtmusik done by Brian Morris.

It was great to see a varied audience for a classical music concert including a lot of children!

Thank you to Charles Andrews for displaying his photographs from Zambia and Madagascar.

Thanks also to Kirby Hanson for the beautiful photos from this evening. Click on the slide show and scroll to the end of the show to see up close shots of the guys with their guitars.
