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.

SAM recital updates

Looking ahead to the 15th Nov performance at the Singapore Art Museum, we are considering a slight adjustment to the originally planned repertoire. This is my current choice of pieces for the recital:

Barber of Seville Overture (Rossini)

Sicilliana (Anon)

A Furiosa (Bellinati)

American Folksongs (various)
- The Drunken Sailor
- St. James Infirmary
- Wade in the Water
- Sweet Betsy from Pike
- Swing Low, Sweet Chariot
- John Henry

Il Postino (Bacalov)

3 Preludes (Gershwin)
- Allegro ben ritmato e deciso
- Andante con moto e poco rubato
- Allegro ben ritmato deciso

Moon River (Mancini)

Funiculi Funicula (Denza)

La Cumparsita (Rodriguez)

Nashville Noel (various)

The songs which I have tentatively taken out are:

1) Waltz of the Flowers
2) Pacific Coast Highway
3) Stirfry

Going forward, we will focus on the 10 listed songs, and then decide if we can/should include some of these other ones.


OTHER UPDATES:-

  • We are also actively preparing for the publicity poster for the recital - LS is supposed to work on the group photograph, while I am in-charge of the brief write-up.
  • The venue of the recital has been changed to the Glass Hall
  • Tickets for the recital will be $8 (free seating)
