About

The Dublin Guitar Quartet is an Irish music group that specialises in the performance of contemporary classical music, particularly music associated with minimalist composers such as Philip Glass, Steve Reich and Arvo Pärt. The group's core repertoire consists of transcriptions of works by these composers along with original compositions by Leo Brouwer, Kevin Volans and others. The group also regularly perform music especially written for them by Irish composers including Derek Ball, Donnacha Dennehy, Andrew Hamilton, Eric Sweeney, group member Brian Bolger and former member David Flynn. The group formed in 2002 while founder members Brian Bolger, Patrick Brunnock, David Flynn and Redmond O'Toole were all studying at the Dublin Institute of Technology College of Music. All members were students of John Feeley at this time. The Dublin Guitar Quartet have received much acclaim for bringing contemporary classical music to new audiences, they are as in demand at classical music events as they are at rock music events and have developed their act to include electric guitars as well as classical guitars. They have appeared on Irish national television and radio and performed at international classical guitar festivals and rock music festivals. .
