Overtures & Dances has grown as a concept over the years through touring and performing. Of course, as we explored the repertoire, we found pieces that resonated with audiences and had a special affinity with the quartet. These pieces were often those that contained a theatrical element in opera, ballet or dance.

The possibilities of arrangements made possible by the guitar quartet add an extra dimension, whether it is the use of the timbral color palette of the guitar as "an orchestra in miniature" (as the great Andrés Segovia always said), or expanding the music of a single piano across four guitarists to create a rich, sustained sound that cannot be obtained with fewer guitars. We believe that this collection of pieces pushes the boundaries of how a guitar quartet can be used, but always in a way that best serves the storytelling, lyrical beauty and often childlike wonder of these works.
