The SFGQ has been busy Fall '08.  On the heels of the SFGQ's performance at Mark Morris's gala event celebrating the choreographer's new work set to a newly discovered Prokofiev score, and a world-premiere-packed concert at San Francisco's Old First Church - SFGQ kicked off the SF Jazz Festival with free noontime concert at Levi Plaza downtown San Francisco! 

 SFGQ in the Heartland

In early September, the quartet headed to St. Louis and Illinois to present its latest cutting-edge concert program.  The group interviewed on KFUO, the Midwest's leading classical radio station to promote the following evening's concert at the fabulous concert hall at Webster University.   The St. Louis Guitar Consortium, directed by guitarist Kirk Hanser, sponsored the group's appearance to conduct a masterclass at St. Charles College.  The SFGQ followed up St. Louis with concerts for the Springfield Classical Guitar Society, in Springfield, IL and the Music Department at Central Illinois' premiere music school, Millikin University.

 SFGQ raising funds for community charities 

 September and October have the SFGQ raising funds for charitable organizations.  In September, the group will perform for the Flying Cloud Ranch, a beautiful pastoral center for therapy and rehabilitation in Petaluma, California.  In October, the quartet heads to the South Pacific and the Island of Guam to perform for the Make a Wish Foundation of Guam, in support of that organization's efforts to fulfill the wishes of terminally ill children.

"Without a doubt the SFGQ's performance was an outstanding highlight of our festival. Your impeccable technique, warm sound, and stage presence spilled over to the audience and set the tone for the rest of the festival."
—Reed Gilchrist, Director, Guitarra California Festival

 

"An impressive showcase for the individual and collective skills of the performers..."


"Impressive command of the idiomatic language . . . ."


"(A) superbly recorded disc well worth owning."
