Zagreb Guitar Quartet

Description

The Zagreb Guitar Quartet was founded in 1990 by Ante Čagalj, one of the leading guitar teachers in Croatia. Mr. Čagalj assembled the Quartet from his students and he is still the ensemble’s artistic director. The Quartet’s current members are Tomislav Vasilj, Krunoslav Pehar, Melita Ivković and Mak Grgić.

This experienced ensemble of young musicians has given a multitude of concerts in Croatia and in other countries including Italy, India, Russia and South Africa. It has successfully appeared at several prestigious international competitions, winning first prize at Trofeo Kawai in Tortona, Italy (1996) and at Simone Salmaso in Viareggio, Italy (1998), as well as the Grand Prix at the Ghitaralia Festival Competition in Przemysl, Poland (1998). At the Varaždin Baroque Evenings in 1998, the Quartet won the Ivan Lukačić Award for the best performance of the festival.

Two years later at this same festival, the Quartet treated the audience to the world premiere of Bach’s The Art of the Fugue arranged for four guitars, receiving rave reviews from the well-known magazine Classical Guitar. Some of the major festivals to which the Quartet has been invited include The Split Summer, the Bartók Festival (Szombathely, Hungary), and Florentine Summer.
