FUAIM – The Irish Guitar Quartet

No strangers to the FUAIM Friday lunchtime concert series, the Irish Guitar Quartet is back for this week’s concert, live-streamed from the Glucksman Gallery.

Be sure to join us at the usual time of 1:10pm at https://www.youtube.com/user/musicatUCC for a wonderful programme that ranges from Argentinian tangos to new age music by David Pritchard and Leo Brouwer – all conveyed through the magic of the guitar.

The guitar is a miniature orchestra in itself’ – Ludwig van Beethoven 

Nothing is more beautiful than a guitar, except, possibly two’ – Frederic Chopin 

Great minds think alike – if only Chopin had heard four guitars! 

The Irish Guitar Quartet (IGQ) – Jerry Creedon, David Keating, Colin McClean and Aengus Kirakowski – is one of Ireland’s most exciting music ensembles, performing a wide range of music from Baroque to Contemporary fusion. Utilising the wonderful versatility of the instrument to create extraordinary textures and ambience, the IGQ have left nation-wide audiences spellbound.
