“The world’s hottest classical ensemble or its tightest pop band? However it helps you to think about the LAGQ, keep the emphasis on superlatives for its unrivaled joy, technical elán and questing spirits.” – Los Angeles Times

For over four decades on the concert stage, the Grammy® Award-winning Los Angeles Guitar Quartet (LAGQ) has set the standard for expression and virtuosity among guitar ensembles. As one of the most charismatic chamber groups performing today, the LAGQ’s critically acclaimed transcriptions of concert masterworks provide a fresh look at the music of the past, while their interpretations from contemporary and world-music realms continually break new ground.
Their newest recording, Opalescent (LAGQ Records), was released in Spring 2022, reflecting LAGQ’s rich palette of colors and sparkling sound. Their 2021 releases included the Grammy®- nominated The Singing Guitar (Delos), a collaboration with the Grammy-winning choir Conspirare, and Pat Metheny’s Road to the Sun (Modern Recordings/BMG). The monumental title track was written expressly for LAGQ, and the release hit #1 on the Apple Music Classical charts.
In addition to quartet programs, other touring highlights include collaborative works with choir, guitar orchestra, symphony orchestra and a “Latin Romance” program with vocalists and flamenco dancers.
LAGQ entered a new chapter in 2023 with the retirement of founding member Scott Tennant, welcoming Douglas Lora (of the Brazil Guitar Duo). Douglas brings a new energy and enthusiasm to the group, contributing his original compositions and deep knowledge of traditional Brazilian genres.
