"Four guitars - one soul" - the eloquent credo of the Baltic Guitar Quartet speaks for itself himself.
The leading guitar ensemble in the Baltic countries fascinates with sensitive, colorful and delicate musicianship. Viktoras Gerulaitis noticed another unique feature of this group - a sense of humor, which, according to the musicologist, is not found in every chamber group.
The guitar quartet is not as common a phenomenon as, for example, the string quartet, whose traditions are very old. , therefore the members of the Baltic Guitar Quartet often arrange the music for their concert programs themselves. There is no shortage of ideas for what and how to perform the inventive guitarists - the broad horizons of the repertoire cover the most diverse opus from the Renaissance to the present day, from classics that have already found their place in repertoires or have not yet been played to jazz and popular music opus.
In its twentieth year. The Baltic Guitar Quartet celebrates elegantly - with a dance step and accompanying wide landscape of folklore motifs. Lithuanian march, Andalusian Seville, Cuban rumba, original dances by one of the quartet members C. Ruebens, compositions by famous guitar virtuosos N. Kuhar and M. Stumbro and arrangements of classics of Lithuanian musical literature by J. Šved and F. Latėnas will form a brightly colored but delicate musical kaleidoscope.
