Melbourne Guitar Quartet | Expanding the sound world of the classical guitar

Celebrating two decades at the forefront of Australian chamber music, the Melbourne Guitar Quartet has established itself as one of the country’s most distinctive and dynamic ensembles. Renowned for their rich, orchestral sound and innovative arrangements, MGQ brings a fresh perspective to guitar performance through their use of the full Guitar Family of instruments — including classical bass, baritone, standard, treble, and octave guitars.

Formed in 2005, MGQ has captivated audiences across Australia with their vibrant stage presence, technical precision, and artistic vision. Their repertoire spans everything from reimagined classics to contemporary works, often enhanced by subtle percussion textures. As one of only two quartets in the country dedicated to this idiom, MGQ continues to redefine what’s possible within the guitar ensemble tradition.
