MINNEAPOLIS GUITAR QUARTET

Milena Petković became the newest member of the Minneapolis Guitar Quartet in 2021.

With the passion, style, and musical sophistication borrowing from the best chamber music traditions, the Minneapolis Guitar Quartet has successfully made its case as one of the world's leading guitar ensembles. "Flawless, musical and witty" (Classical Guitar Magazine), the MGQ has captivated audiences throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia. From Bach to Piazzolla to Prince, MGQ’s inventive and eclectic programs are enlivened by a bravado and synchronicity that have been honed through decades of classical training and concert experience. The Minneapolis Guitar Quartet—Joseph Hagedorn, Maja Radovanlija, Ben Kunkel and Milena Petković —builds an uncommon rapport with its audiences through its engaging stage presence and distinctive humor. “More than a guitar quartet, more than superb musicians, and more than a great chamber group,” says composer/performer Daniel Bernard Roumain. “They are ambassadors of sound, style, and substance.” 

The Minneapolis Guitar Quartet has toured throughout the United States and Mexico, with recent and upcoming tours in China, Serbia, Montenegro, Germany, Macedonia and Bulgaria. Among its notable engagements are residencies at UCLA and Princeton, San Francisco’s Omni Foundation Dynamite Guitar series, Tianjin Grand Theater, Chongqing Guotai Arts Centre and the 2020 Guitar Foundation of America Festival. Concerto appearances include the Austin Symphony, St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, Minnesota Orchestra and Columbus Symphony. MGQ has been heard on the nationally syndicated radio program Saint Paul Sunday, and on National Public Radio’s Performance Today, and has garnered international critical acclaim from its six CDs on the Albany, GSP, and innova labels.
