The Tantalus Quartet is an excellent ensemble with excellent repertoire. They specialize in music by living composers, and actively pursue new works for guitar quartet. When I saw them in concert at the University of Louisville Guitar Festival, they were in top form, playing works by Dyens and Domeniconi and works written for them.
