With seven years of experience the Costa Rica's Guitar Quartet was interested in making a serious and innovative work in the field of chamber music, as well as encouraging the creation and dissemination of Costa Rican music. According to this, their repertoire is comprised of works originally composed for this format, as well as adaptations and arrangements of universal repertoire from various periods, both academic and traditional or popular, using the resources and versatility of the guitar.
In July 2012 they got the 2nd place in the III Competition of Guitar Ensembles in Mexico, organized within the XV Competition and International Guitar Festival of Taxco, sponsored by the prestigious guitarist Juan Carlos Laguna. In 2013 they participated with the Cartago Municipal Symphony Orchestra and the Symphony Orchestra of Castella's Conservatory Castella with famed Concierto Andaluz by Spanish composer Joaquin Rodrigo. Also in 2014, they performed the premiere of Concert Uxarraci by costarican composer Carlos Castro, the first concert for four guitars and orchestra in Central America.
In October 2015 the quartet made their first European tour, with successful performances in The Hague (Netherlands), Brussels (Belgium), Luxembourg, Paris (France), London and Cambridge (United Kingdom).
Their first album titled "Eso es imposible" was premiered at the XVIII International Guitar Festival in Costa Rica. They had also collaborated on the albums "New Composers ... New Visions: Costa Rican Chamber Music " and "Nosotros" with the work "Mobile 1" of Jose Mora-Jiménez and "Desde las Entrañas de mi Tierra" by composer Mauricio Zamora with "Camino a Turrialba".
