About Guitaresque

Guitaresque is a Singapore-based non-professional classical guitar quartet. All our members are full-time working professionals but have come together because of our shared passion for guitar music.

We are alumni members of the NUS Guitar Ensemble (GENUS), the premier Niibori-styled guitar orchestra in Singapore, founded by Mr Alex Abisheganaden.

Guitaresque won the first prize and second prize (ensemble) in the 2004 and 2001 Singapore Guitar Festival Competition respectively.

Il Postino

I have just completed the quartet arrangement for the theme song from the movie Il Postino.

This 4 guitars arrangement is based on a CD recording of the song featuring a violin soloist, backed by strings.

I have always liked this song, as I find its melody lines extremely beautiful and flowing, delivering a sense of peace and yet, a kind of yearning at the same time.

Can't wait to try this out with the guys!
