The Los Angeles Guitar Quartet

EMMA Concert Association presents the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet on Sunday, September 15, 2024, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. The concert will be held in Lewis Auditorium, at 14 Grenada Street. 

The four guitarists from Los Angeles have unique musical backgrounds, allowing them to arrange and perform a wide array of music, including bluegrass and Bach. In addition to their interpretation of traditional classical works, their performances can include music from Latin America, Africa, Ireland, the Far East, and North America. From this continent, the works range from old folk and bluegrass tunes to contemporary music.

Members of the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet

Bill Kanengiser, Jon Dearman, Matt Greif, and Douglas Lora compose the quartet. All are primarily classical guitarists with unique skills and the ability to play in several styles and genres. The quartet was formed in 1980 by John Dearman, Bill Kanengiser, and two others. Matt Greif joined the quartet in 2006, and Douglas Lora joined in 2023.
