“Flawless, musical and witty” is what Classical Guitar Magazine of England calls the Minneapolis Guitar Quartet. Borrowing from the best chamber music and string quartet traditions, the quartet churns out Renaissance, Baroque, Spanish, Latin American and Romantic music, as well as newer works. The group’s collaboration with Flamenco dancer Colette Illarde began in 2006 and has since developed two different productions with music by the great Spanish composers Joaquin Rodrigo and Enrique Granados.

The program is presented by the college’s Cultural Affairs Program. Please contact Debby Gardner at d.gardner@hvcc.edu or 629-8071 for more information.
